Another redirect

Server NGINX
1

i have exhausted my resources on this one. please help
if your able.

i am moving to a new site. the old site has some
good standing in google which points to
oldsite.com/tips.ws
now, the new site which is in rails
loads this page at newsite.com/tips_recipes

is there anyway to have nginx
redirect this and also change its path on the way ?

The rewrite module does an ok job.

they way it made sense to me, is using

if ($host = ‘www.oldsite.com/tips.ws’ ) {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ http://www.newsite.com/tips_and_receipes
permanent;
}

but does nothing

i also tries using the if sequence for request_filename.ws
with no luck as well
am i missing something. like 6th grade … :slight_smile:
