I have a single image that I renamed and need to redirect from the old image url to the new one my server uses nginx, I'm not having much success with the following rewrite:
rewrite ^/assets/avatar/avatar.png /assets/avatar/newavatar.png permanent;
Does someone know what is wrong?
If you want to use rewrite you need to use a full path to the new location
rewrite ^/assets/avatar/avatar.png http://example.com/assets/avatar/newavatar.png permanent;
A better way though is using a return
location /assets/avatar/avatar.png {
return 301 $scheme://example.com/assets/avatar/newavatar.png;
}
If you want to just rewrite, you need to change permanent to last or break

So I have a main path https://app.example.com and I want it to keep it that, way but on all https://app.expample.com/p/* paths I want it to be rewritten to a short version of the url like. How can I achieve this?
I tried
location = /p/(.*)$ {
rewrite ^ https://example.com/p/$request_uri permanent; and also return 301 https://example.com/p/$request_uri;
}
but this resulted in too many http redirects and an error
I have redesigned a website and changed the url formats too. Now i need to change the old url to new one.
Here is my old url:
/solumina-G8/api/v1.0/user-avatar/avatarImage/currentUser
The new url would be:
/api/user-avatar/avatarImage/currentUser
I was successful remove just one of them using rewrite rule
rewrite ^/solumina-G8(.*)$ $1 permanent;
But I can't find how to remove both Solumina-g8 and v1.0
Try this:
rewrite ^/solumina-G8/api/v1.0/(.*)$ /api/$1 permanent;
I have an old URL structure like this archives.php?l=e and I moved it to a new structure archives/e
I'm trying to 301 redirect all the old urls, but I have run into troubles. This is what I'm currently doing but it's not working.
location ^~ /list.php {
rewrite /archives/$1/ permanent;
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I figured it out and I have to say Nginx has some nice magic for this. Using arg_l solved it. Somehow it creates a variable for each param.
location ^~ /archives.php {
rewrite ^/archives.php$ /archives/$arg_l? permanent;
}
Hello I'm trying to write a Nginx rewrite rule that adds a subdirectory to my URL if it's missing. For example, I need http://example.com to be re-written (and redirected) to http://example.com/legacy-app. Can't seem to find the proper example to do this.
You can use a rewrite directive, but an exact match location block is most efficient:
location = / {
return 301 /legacy-app;
}
See this document for more.
We ended up using this:
rewrite ^/$ /legacy-app/ last;
I'm new to nginx and I got a rewrite problem here:
I want to permanently redirect http://domain1.com/abc.php to http://domain2.com,
but I want to keep http://domain1.com/abc.php?param=value, I've tried put
rewrite ^/abc\.php$ http://domain2.com last;
which works for http://domain1.com/abc.php, unfortunately it rewrites everything that starts with the '/abc.php', I'm really confused why this is happening, any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Nginx rewrites generally don't "see" the query string as part of the URI, which is why your existing rewrite isn't working - to Nginx it's always ^/abc\.php$ whether there's a query string or not.
Instead, I'd try this (adapted from the documentation):
if ($args !~ param=value) {
rewrite ^/abc\.php$ http://domain2.com permanent;
}
But be aware that if is evil.
