nginx rewrite base url
- by ptn777
I would like the root url
http://www.example.com
to redirect to
http://www.example.com/something/else
This is because some weird WP plugin always sets a cookie on the base url, which doesn't let me cache it.
I tried this directive:
location / {
rewrite ^ /something/else break;
}
But 1) there is no redirect and 2) pages start shooting more than 1,000 requests to my server. With this one:
location / {
rewrite ^ http://www.example.com/something/else break;
}
Chrome reports a redirect loop.
What's the correct regexp to use?
