Nginx redirect to another directory but index page

  • 772

I am trying to do the following nginx redirect

/news/today-xx/index.php (xx will be moving with new page)
/blog/category-xx/today-xx/index.php

to

/article/today-xx/ (xx will be moving with new page)
/article/category-xx/today-xx/

but still want to access archival pages.

/news/index.php and /news/
/blog/index.php and /blog/

Here is what I have so far

 location ^~ /(news|blog)/(.*) {
    return 301 /article/$1;
 }
nginx

    This should do it:

    location ~ ^/(news|blog)/(.+)/index\.php$ {
    return 301 /article/$1;
}

    I added the starting and ending anchors (^ and $), escaped the extension for php (\.) and most importantly, changed the middle section to (.+), which captures one or more characters between the slashes to the variable. This means that the regex won't match to the old archive scripts.
