How to point a domain into another website's page? - nginx

Question

For example, I have a website under the domain example.com. In that site, I have a page like this example.com/hello. Now I need to point my second domain hello.com to that page example.com/hello. It should not be a re-direct. The visitor should stay in hello.com but see the content from the page example.com/hello. Is this possible? Can we do it in dns or in nginx?

Answer 1

You can use proxy_pass directive. Just create a new server associated with the domain hello.com and then for location = / set proxy_pass equals to http://example.com/hello:
server {
server_name hello.com;
# ...
location = / {
proxy_pass http://example.com/hello/;
}
# serve static content (ugly way)
location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|css|js|ico|xml|rss|txt)$ {
proxy_pass http://example.com/hello/$uri$is_args$args;
}
# serve static content (better way,
# but requires collection all assets under the common root)
location ~ /static/ {
proxy_pass http://example.com/static/;
}
}
UPD: Here is an exact solution for your situation:
server {
server_name swimamerica.lk;
location = / {
proxy_pass http://killerwhales.lk/swimamerica;
}
# serve static content (ugly way) - added woff and woff2 extentions
location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|css|js|ico|xml|rss|txt|woff|woff2)$ {
proxy_pass http://killerwhales.lk$uri$is_args$args;
}
# added location for web sockets
location ~* sockjs {
proxy_pass http://killerwhales.lk$uri$is_args$args;
}
}

Answer 2

Use the proxy_pass directive. Just create a new server associated with the domain hello.com and then for location = / set proxy_pass equal to http://domain.com/hello:
server {
server_name hello.com;
# ...
location = / {
proxy_pass http://domain.com/hello/;
}
# serve static content (ugly way)
location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|css|js|ico|xml|rss|txt)$ {
proxy_pass http://domain.com/hello/$uri$is_args$args;
}
# serve static content (better way,
# but requires collection all assets under the common root)
location ~ /static/ {
proxy_pass http://domain.com/static/;
}
}
