Too many redirects

Server NGINX
1

I’m following the wiki’s guidelines with:

server {
server_name mike.example.com;
rewrite ^ http://www.example.com$request_uri? permanent;
}

I’m getting a “this page has too many redirects error”. So I tried:

location = example.com { rewrite example.com www.example.com permanent;
}

This worked after I had gone to www.example.com but if I clear the cache
and
first go to example.com (like a first-time user) I get a “DNS lookup
failed.”

Any suggestions, thanks.

This location has no sense from nginx point of view.

server {
server_name example.com;
rewrite ^ http://www.example.com$request_uri? permanent;
}

server {
server_name www.example.com;
…
