Domain rewrite/redirect

Server NGINX
1

I have two different domains. One is a shortened url for referrals. I
want to be able redirect the host name from the short url with
parameters to the actual url. For example:

abcd.com/123456

rewrite/redirect to

efgh.com/referrals/123456

Initially I used a CNAME setup for adbcd.com to rewrite to efgh.com but
that doesn’t rewrite the domain name or url.

Here’s a short version of my setup with the rewrite rules I’m trying to
use:

http {
server {
listen 80;
server_name abcd.com efgh.com;
rewrite ^(.*) https://$host$1 permanent;
}

server {
listen 443;
server_name abcd.com efgh.com;
if ($host ~* ^(efgh.com)$ ) {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ https://abcd.com/referrals/$ redirect;
}
}
}

The url on the user’s browser after entering https://efgh.com/123456
should appear as https://abcd.com/referrals/123456. Currently, it’s
just rewriting.

I think I’m getting a bit further.

I modified this a bit and its redirecting but not carrying the
parameters. Here’s the updated config:

http {
server {
listen 80;
server_name abcd.com;
rewrite ^(.) https://$host$1 permanent;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name efgh.com;
rewrite ^(.) https://abcd.com/referrals/$1 redirect;
}
server {
listen 443;
server_name abcd.com;
}
server {
listen 443;
server efgh.com
rewrite ^(.*) https://abcd.com/referrals/$1 permanent;
}
}
}
}

Hello,

You may also use HSTS headers to ensure your users use SSL instead of
non-SSL. This won’t replace the redirect, but the compatible browser
will know on the next visit that it should use the SSL server only. It
won’t request the non-SSL part.

More about HSTS:

Cheers,

Nevermind, got if fixed on my end. Simple, just had to reread the wiki:

rewrite ^ https://abcd.com/referrals$request_uri? permanent;
