Canonical Rewrite Rule For Nginx

By admin on February 24, 2011 in Apache, Nginx

Need to redirect from acme.com to www.acme.com with nginx? No problem … just add a virtual host declaration for the non-www that redirects like this:

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name acme.com;
  rewrite ^/(.*) http://www.acme.com/$1 permanent;
}

server {

listen 80;

server_name acme.com;

rewrite ^/(.*) http://www.acme.com/$1 permanent;

}

or if you want to add to an existing vhost:

if ( $host != 'www.domain.com' ) {
   rewrite ^/(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 permanent;
}

if ( $host != 'www.domain.com' ) {

rewrite ^/(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 permanent;

}
