Hi,

Sorry to bother you, I find this odd problem. When using ruby p180 +  
nginx 1.0.8 + unicorn, the url redirection works perfectly but with ruby  
p290, the page always redirects to the first entry on our vhost file.  
Any inputs will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Guys!

Here is my entry on my vhost.conf:

server {  
listen 80;  
server\_name [games.example.com](http://games.example.com);  
rewrite ^(.\*) [http://www.example.com/games](http://www.example.com/games) permanent;  
}

my nginx.conf:

another update: using server\_name localhost; or private ipaddress, it  
always redirect but using public hostname the nginx is functioning well.  
Anyway how to bypass this one? thanks
