Hi,
I just installed and partially configured nginx on a dedicated server of mine. But I've got some trouble understanding the regexp. I would like to make nginx redirect www.mydomain.com/forum/ AND www.mydomain.com/forum (note the missing trailing slash; case-insensitive; same applies for "forums" instead of "forum") to forum.mydomain.com/. This is what I came up with:
location ~* ^/(forum|forums) {
rewrite ^/(.*)/(.*)$ http://forum.mydomain.com/$2? permanent;
}
... but for some reason it works with trailing slashes only. :-/
Please help me! Thanks in advance!
