Im running nginx and in the config file I need to always have the domain example.com redirect to example.com/test. I tried various methods for achieving this but I always got a redirect error.

What is the correct way to do this?

nginx.conf snippet:

server {
  server_name example.com www.example.com;
  location / {
    rewrite ^.+ /test permanent;
  }
}

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name www.example.com example.com;
  location / {
    root /var/www/apps/example/current/public;
    passenger_enabled on;
    rails_env production;
  }
}

Thanks!
