Nginx rewrite to eliminate "www" not working

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I've looked at many SE threads and done various google searches and can't figure out why i can't redirect www.mysite.com to mysite.com on my nginx server. The 1st server block does the http://mysite.info -> https://mysite.info redirect as you'd expect. So i'm not sure why the 2nd server block isn't doing the same for the www.mysite.info -> mysite.info. Here's the relevant part of my nginx.conf file: server { server_name mysite.info; rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent; } server { server_name www.mysite.info; rewrite ^ https://mysite.info$request_uri? perm (HowTos)

Stories similar to Nginx rewrite to eliminate "www" not working

I have a subdomain of my site pointed to a rails app at mysite.herokuapp.com. I bought a certificate from godaddy and seem to have that all set up correctly.

I have 2 sites-enabled, with server_name as follows:

server_name www.mysite.com mysite.com

and

server_name dev.mysite.com

Problem: When I access the website via its IP address, by looking at the access/error logs, it appears that nginx is serving off the root of dev.mysite.com.

How does nginx decide which to serve?

I have Server A which hosts www.mysite.com

I want to create and host a site on Server B, but configure it to: www.mysite.com/theSiteAtServerB

Is this at all possible?

Redirect http://blog.mysite.com http://mysite.com/blog

But when I visit http://blog.mysite.com, it doesn't redirect me. Any suggestions?

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName www.mysite.cn ServerAlias mysite.cn *.mysite.cn DocumentRoot /home/user/static/mysite/cn </VirtualHost>
