server {  
listen 80;  
server\_name [www.myhostname.com](http://www.myhostname.com);

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

```

}

server {  
listen 80;  
server\_name [hostname.com](http://hostname.com);  
…  
}

server (  
listen 80;  
server\_name [www.myhostname.com](http://www.myhostname.com);  
rewrite ^ http://hostname.com$request\_uri? permanent;  
}

This assumes you want a redirect to the requested URI. If you want all  
requests to go to the index page for [http://hostname.com](http://hostname.com) omit  
“$request\_uri?” from the rewrite.
