I am very unfamiliar with nginx, as a forewarning, and also can't find any actual references on the regex system they use. So right now it's a black box to me.
All I want to do is redirect a user trying to go to www.mydomain.com/mydirectory/X to www.myotherdomain.com/X .
Seems like I should be using the rewrite command but the syntax of the regex is eluding me.
Thanks in advance.
NGINX Return directive The easiest and cleaner way to rewrite an URL can be done by using the return directive. The return directive must be declared in the server or location context by specifying the URL to be redirected.
I made a solution that works. I had it before posting this question but didn't realize I needed to restart nginx. Put the following inside your server block.
rewrite ^(/mydirectory/)(.*)$ http://www.myotherdomain.com/$2 permanent;
