Hi,

I have an old domain & new domain, let’s call the old domain is  
[www.olddomain.com](http://www.olddomain.com) and the new one is [www.newdomain.com](http://www.newdomain.com).  
Yesterday, I’ve register the new domain ([www.newdomain.com](http://www.newdomain.com)), but, the  
[olddomain.com](http://olddomain.com) still active. Both of them can be accessed by user. But,  
in  
some direction (nginx.conf), i’ve limit the old domain can accessed some  
directory, but the new domain can access all directory in public\_html.

Could nginx make a rules, if the user access the site from  
[olddomain.com](http://olddomain.com),  
for example, the user access a file from [www.olddomain.com/file.exe](http://www.olddomain.com/file.exe),  
will be  
redirected automatically to [Parked at Loopia](http://www.newdomain.com/file.exe). NginX Wiki  
doesn’t  
provide this documentation. ☹

## Thanks, antituhan

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