I set up ghost blogging platform. It doesn't allow to insert «/» signs in article links, but I want them to appear in my links, so I want them to be fixed with nginx rewrites.
The link in a browser looks like this:
http://blog.site.com/stuff-life/
And I want it to be like this:
http://blog.site.com/stuff/life/
It goes without saying that it should be applied for a number of links starting from "stuff-*", not for one.
I found this, but it's way too complicated for me:
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_rewrite_module.html
My config looks like this:
server {
listen 80;
server_name blog.site.com;
access_log /var/log/nginx/ghost.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/ghost.error.log;
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header HOST $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2368;
proxy_redirect off;
}
}
So how I do a rewrite in my case? Thanks.
Update.
Now I try to do it this way:
server {
listen 80;
server_name somesite.com;
access_log /var/log/nginx/ghost.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/ghost.error.log;
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header HOST $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2368;
proxy_redirect off;
}
location /stuff- {
rewrite ^/stuff-(.*) http://$server_name/stuff/$1 permanent;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header HOST $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2368;
proxy_redirect off;
}
}
And it looks like nginx is passing rewrited links to ghost. And I get 404 page.
And the answer is:
You need to make sure the links are in correct format in your software also.
nginx
cannot rewrite links in the pages themselves, you need to handle those other way.However, making nginx show
/stuff-life
when accessing/stuff/life
can be done like this:
