Nginx map module 301 redirecting
- by Reinier Korth
I've rebuild my website in Ruby on Rails and now I want to 301 redirect a lot of old urls using Nginx's http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpMapModule
For some reason I can't get it to work. It works fine without the rewrite ^ $new permanent; line.
Does anyone see what I'm missing?
This my nginx.conf:
server {
server_name example.com;
return 301 $scheme://www.example.com$request_uri;
}
# 301 redirect list
map $uri $new {
/test123 http://www.example.com/test123;
/bla http://www.example.com/bladiebla;
}
server {
server_name www.example.com;
rewrite ^ $new permanent;
root example/public;
location ^~ /assets/ {
gzip_static on;
expires max;
add_header Cache-Control public;
}
try_files $uri/index.html $uri @unicorn;
location @unicorn {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://unicorn-<%= application %>;
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /500.html;
client_max_body_size 4G;
keepalive_timeout 10;
}
