Rewrite directory lookup to another directory

Server NGINX
1

Hello All,

I am trying to add a rewrite rule to my nginx configuration. But each
time
it is giving me 404/302 error. My scenarios is given below

  1. If someone request URL http://192.168.44.163/testa or
    http://192.168.44.163/testa/ then it should be redirected to
    http://192.168.44.163/testa/web/index.php or
    http://192.168.44.163/testa/web/index.html
  2. If someone request any file inside testa directory it should be
    redirected to testa/web directory and serve the file.

I tried with location /testa {} directive as well but in vain.
