Is it possible to rewrite or redirect an url to a user friendly url without changing the requested url in the browser ?
I want user to access the page :
example.com/dashboard/c7BIDZMJ96zh8jKgmTEcAugA22RDhGkH
Through url :
example.com/dashboard/nicedashboardname
I am using Nginx rewrite
location = /dashboard/nicedashboardname {
rewrite ^/dashboard/nicedashboardname?$ /dashboard/c7BIDZMJ96zh8jKgmTEcAugA22RDhGkH break;
}
I need this because the Id of the non-user-friendly page can change over time.
Thank you
No need to use rewrite here… You can use return:
location = /dashboard/nicedashboardname {
return 301 /dashboard/c7BIDZMJ96zh8jKgmTEcAugA22RDhGkH;
}

I am trying to setup bulk redirections in nginx(openresty) with map directive but am facing some issues with capturing regex/query string from the source url and forward to destination url. below is like my setup
nginx.conf is like
map_hash_bucket_size 512;
map_hash_max_size 32768;
map $uri $new_redirects {
default "none";
include /usr/local/openresty/nginx/conf/new_redirect.map;
}
Server Block
if ($new_redirects != "none") {
return 301 $scheme://$http_host$new_redirects;
}
new redirect map contains below redirects
~^/test/123/(\w+)(\w+).*$ /US/en/test/$1-$2;
Which is working good
but i am struggling a lot to get for the below strings
Part of url for Regex Capture
/Product.html?ProdNo=A5441&Brand=COMPANY
Captures in the new url
/US/en/product/COMPANY-A5441
2.Part of url for Regex Capture
/ProductDetail.do?&N5=SEARCH_CONCAT_PNO|BRAND_KEY&F=SPEC&N4=AV35016|COMPANY
Captures in the new url
/US/en/product/COMPANY-AV35016
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Cheers all!
I have two source URL format and want to redirect both url based on
color variant to the destination link with the parameter appended.
Scenario1: www.example.com/pages?abc=123&color=white which should redirect to www.example.com/variant1?abc=123&color=white
Scenario2: www.example.com/pages?abc=456&color=red which should redirect to www.example.com/variant2?abc=456&color=red
I have tried with below , it works for one but not for both as its specific. Not able find the solution for both cases, as else doesnt work
location = /pages {
if ($args ~* "&color=white”) {
rewrite ^.*$ /variant1 redirect;
} }
While it is possible to do this in Nginx, it'll defeat some of the advantages that Nginx provides. If you can, it's better to do it within your application code or Lua.
If you choose to go forward with if statements, you'll want to match against individual $arg_* variables rather than $args. In particular, you'll want to use $arg_color, which will contains the color querystring value.
location = /pages {
if ($arg_color = "white") { return 301 /variant1$is_args$args; }
if ($arg_color = "red") { return 301 /variant2$is_args$args; }
# If we get to this point, there was no match. You have to keep
# this very simple and can only use directives documented as being
# compatible with `if`, or you'll get all sorts of crazy bugs and
# crashes.
return 404.
}
I'm configuring nginx as reverse proxy.
I need to change (rewrite?) the URLs, example: when the request (to nginx Reverse Proxy) is "http://example.com/test/?username=test1;password=passwdtest1" it will must "modified" to the main server as "http://example.com/test/?username=production;password=passwdproduction1".
Consider that in the original request the fields "username=test1;password=passwdtest1" are not always the same (they changes), instead the "modified" to the main server are always the same.
Others example to be more clear:
"/test/?username=test1;password=passwdtest1" -> "/test/?username=production;password=passwdproduction1"
"/test/?username=test1876;password=somepasswd" -> "/test/?username=production;password=passwdproduction1"
"/test/?username=somevalues;password=somepasswdvalue" -> "/test/?username=production;password=passwdproduction1"
So, independently to what are the values of "?username=somevalues;password=somepasswdvalue" it should always become "?username=production;password=passwdproduction1".
Thanks for your help!
A little late on the answer but this should work for you:
location ~* /test/? {
if ($arg_username ~ "^$|\s+") { return 404; }
if ($arg_password ~ "^$|\s+") { return 404; }
rewrite ^ /test?username=production&password=passwdproduction1? permanent;
}
The code above checks if it is within the example.com/test path. If it is it will check if the user name or the password variable are present and not empty in the query string. In case if any isn't present or is empty it will return a 404 else it will redirect you to the preferred url.
By the way, instead of the semicolon in your example urls I would use an ampersand (&).
How can I rewrite the file name on https in nginx configuration?
for example I have
/public/abc.html
/public/abc-s.html
but I want user who access https://mydomain/abc.html load abc-s.html, while http://mydomain/abc-s.html load abc.html.
thx
This can be done by a series of regular expressions; example:
set $hasdashs u; # if we don't match .html we don't want to do a rewrite
if ($uri ~* "^(.*)\.html$") { # are we looking at a .html page? If so, get the base name
set $hasdashs n;
set $shorturi "$1";
}
if ($uri ~ "^(.*)-s\.html$") { # are we looking at a secure page? Get the base name without -s
set $hasdashs y;
set $shorturi "$1";
}
set $schemecheck "$scheme$hasdashs";
if ($schemecheck = "httpy") { #we're using http and looking at a secure page
rewrite . "${shorturi}.html" redirect;
}
if ($schemecheck = "httpsn") { #we're using https and looking at an insecure page
rewrite . "${shorturi}-s.html" redirect;
}
Note that this has to be in the server block and not the location block of the configuration. Tested on NGINX 1.2.1.
I have a Magento v1.4.1.1 installation on Nginx web server. I'm trying to rewrite the following dynamic URL:
#5028 is the dynamic id passed in the URL
$baseUrl/design/index/index/design_id/5028
To:
$baseUrl/my/design/5028
I have used the Magento's "URL Rewrite Management" to rewrite static URLs, without a problem. But it seems I cannot use dynamic parameters.
I've also tried to do the following on Nginx configuration inside my server{} location
rewrite ^/my/designs/([0-9]+)$ /design/index/index/design_id/$1 last;
But it's not getting catch, I keep getting 404 errors if I try to access http://mysite.com/my/design/5028
Another rule right next to this one works perfectly
rewrite ^(/fb)/design/([0-9]+)$ $1/landing_no_contest.php?design_id=$2? last;
Thanks for any help.
Yes, Magento's "URL Rewrite Managment" does not support dynamic links, afaik.
You could programmatically add static rewrites per design_id to it, though:
$iStoreId = 1;
$sOptions = 'RP'; // 'RP' for a 301, or 'R' for a 302
$aDesignId = array(5026, 5027, 5028);
foreach ($aDesignId as $iDesignId) {
Mage::getModel('core/url_rewrite')
->setStoreId($iStoreId)
->setCategoryId(null)
->setProductId(null)
->setIdPath(str_replace('0.', '', str_replace(' ', '_', microtime())))
->setRequestPath('design/index/index/design_id/' . $iDesignId)
->setTargetPath('my/design/' . $iDesignId)
->setIsSystem(0)
->setOptions($sOptions)
->save();
}
