Is there a way to redirect and old domain to a new one,

For instance, all I did was change domains, the structure is all still  
the same.

I just need to redirect [xxxx.com](http://xxxx.com) to [xxxy.com](http://xxxy.com) while still keeping the  
structure of the incoming links as they remain in the same pace on the  
new site.

server {

```
listen 80;

server_name xxxx.com www.xxxx.com;

...

rewrite ^ http://yyyy.com$request_uri? permanent;

```

}

should do it.

If you want to get fancy you can separate out like:

server {

```
listen 80;

server_name xxxx.com;

...

rewrite ^ http://yyyy.com$request_uri? permanent;

```

}

server {

```
listen 80;

server_name www.xxxx.com;

...

rewrite ^ http://www.yyyy.com$request_uri? permanent;

```

}
