I need to create a nginx configuration with redirect, this is my conf:
server {
listen 8080;
server_name test.example.org;
index index.php index.html;
return 301 $scheme://test.example.org/dashboard;
location /dashboard {
alias /path/to/files;
index index.php index.html;
}
}
I need redirect test.example.org to test.example.org/dashboard,when i go to test.example.org, my browser get an error "Too many redirects"
Try to put
return 301 $scheme://test.example.org/dashboard;
inside
location / {
}
alias directive and what files are there. By the way I suggest to replace alias by root with full path to files, as alias works sometimes strange.
alias work for my config. Nothing to do with redirection, but with many locations and rewrites. Try to look in the webserver's log with alias in place. It can give you a clue.
port_in_redirect off; in nginx.conf. Now have another problem, when i go to test.exanmple.org/dashboard, nginx insert "/dashbord" at the beginning of URL and not find any files: es. "GET /dashboard/modules/notify/module.js HTTP/1.1" 404 199 "test.domain.com/dashboard"
This is how I do it,
location / {
index index.php index.html index.htm;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args @goto_dashboard;
}
location @goto_dashboard {
return 301 http://xxx/dashboard;
}
locationandaliasbe swapped? It makes more sense to me that way...
