This is the top hit on Google for  nginx redirect    If you got here just wanting to redirect a single location   location    content unique-page-name     return 301  new-name unique-page-name

Similar to another answer here  but change the http in the rewrite to to  scheme like so   server           listen 80          server name test com          rewrite        scheme   www test com request uri  permanent      And edit your main server block server name variable as following   server name  www test com    I had to do this to redirect www test com to test com

First make sure you have installed Nginx with the HTTP rewrite module  To install this we need to have pcre-library   How to install pcre library  If the above mentioned are done or if you already have them  then just add the below code in your nginx server block    if   host      www          rewrite        http   www  host 1 permanent        To remove www from every request you can use    if   host    www your domain com         rewrite           http   your domain com  1  permanent        so your server block will look like    server               listen       80              server name  test com              if   host      www                          rewrite        http   www  host 1 permanent                            client max body size   10M              client body buffer size   128k               root        home test test public              passenger enabled on              rails env production               error page   500 502 503 504   50x html              location    50x html                       root   html

Best way to do what you want is to add another server block   server            implemented by default  change if you need different ip or port          listen   80     8000          server name test com          return 301  scheme   www test com request uri      And edit your main server block server name variable as following   server name  www test com    Important  New server block is the right way to do this  if is evil  You must use locations and servers instead of if if it s possible  Rewrite is sometimes evil too  so replaced it with return
