URL rewriting with nginx

Question

I've recently set up a virtual host using nginx. The website being hosted needs to redirect URL's containing '/old/' - to the same url without '/old/'. For example:

www.mywebsite.com/old/a/b/c to www.mywebsite.com/a/b/c www.mywebsite.com/old/a to www.mywebsite.com/a www.mywebsite.com/old/a/b/c/d/e to www.mywebsite.com/a/b/c/d/e 

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers

Answer 1

Maybe this help:

rewrite ^/old/(.+)$ http://myebsite.com/$1 permanent;

If not try to combine it whit if (!-f $request_filename) { here }

Answer 2

For example:

server { server_name www.mywebsite.com; location /old/ { rewrite ^/old/(.*)$ /$1 permanent; } location / { # bla bla bla and other usual stuff } }
