Apache to nginx rewrite rule

Server NGINX
1

Looking to do something like this:

RewriteRule ^youtube/(.*)$ http://www.youtube.com/$1 [L]

This the configuration I’m thinking of?

location /youtube/
{
rewrite ^(.*)$ http://www.youtube.com$1
}

location /youtube/
^^^^^^^^^

This means that you have a location /youtube not a host (vhost)

{
rewrite ^(.*)$ http://www.youtube.com$1
}

You seem to be confusing host (server_name) with location. That type
of rewriting must be done at the server (virtual host) level.

Thanks, but no, I’m not confusing location with host name.

I’m trying to redirect any requests on our domain as follows:

https://www.ourdomain.com/youtube/v/mydjFYoD4WS&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&autoplay=1

to:

This is to solve a SSL warning issue. We’re already doing it on another
site using the .htaccess rule I provided.

for more specific information and example.

Try this:

rewrite ^/youtube/(.*)$ http://wwww.youtube.com/$1 break;

You do not need “break”.

location /youtube {
rewrite ^/youtube/(.*)$ http://wwww.youtube.com/$1;
}

This is enough.

Yes. There’s no point in having a flag here, since the redirect is to
an external site, so no other location is tried for handling the
request. It exits immediately.

Thanks Igor,
