We use Nginx here for load balancing and as our HTTP server.
We have just started a new company called Ruby50 and I needed to get NGinx to rewrite to a static holding URL until the website is ready to go live. This is how I did it.
server {
server_name ruby50.com;
rewrite ^.*$ http://blog.dynamic50.com/index.php/ruby50$1 permanent;
}
This rewrites anything going to ruby50.com and redirects it to a page on this blog. Do not forget to include any subdomains (such as www.ruby50.com):
server {
server_name www.ruby50.com;
rewrite ^(.*) http://ruby50.com$1 permanent;
}
So this is everything you need:
server {
server_name www.ruby50.com;
rewrite ^(.*) http://ruby50.com$1 permanent;
}
server {
server_name ruby50.com;
rewrite ^.*$ http://blog.dynamic50.com/index.php/ruby50$1 permanent;
}
