Preserve URI with nginx rewrite directive

  • 772

I am new to nginx, I have rewrite directives to redirect hostnames to other hostnames. I want to preserve the URI in the request to the redirect so for example http://www.johntate.org/blog goes to http://johntate.org/blog and so on.

At the moment I just have this...

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name www.johntate.org;
    rewrite / http://johntate.org/;
}

I want something more complicated that preserves the request and forwards it.

nginx

    Adapted from the example on https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/tutorials/config_pitfalls/#server-name-if :

    server {
    listen 80;
    server_name www.johntate.org;
    return $scheme://johntate.org$request_uri;
}

    ($scheme expands to http or https depending on connection type)

    Have a look at the documentation at http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpRewriteModule before asking further questions on this.
