I want people type in http://www.myweb.com/like/1234456 will redirect to http://www.myweb.com/item.php?itemid=1234456
I wrote something like this in the config but it doesn't work.
location = ^~/like/ {
rewrite ^1234456 ../likeitem.php?item=1234456break;
return 403;
}
this is just a test. I haven't used the $ matching yet.
I also restart my ngnix server but still.. it doesn't do the redirect.
The code above will not work because of a missing $ and poor use of the return command.
The code below works with Nginx, including version 0.8.54.
Format below is :
They must be inside location / {}
http://example.com/notes/343
http://example.com/notes.php?id=343
rewrite ^/notes/(.*)$ /notes.php?id=$1 last;
http://example.com/users/BlackBenzKid
http://example.com/user.php?username=BlackBenzKid
rewrite ^/users/(.*)$ /user.php?username=$1 last;
http://example.com/top
http://example.com/top.php
rewrite ^/top?$ /top.php last;
Complex and further
http://example.com/users/BlackBenzKid/gallery
http://example.com/user.php?username=BlackBenzKid&page=gallery
rewrite ^/users/(.*)/gallery$ /user.php?username=$1&page=gallery last;
