NginX redirect fails

Hi all,

Trying to redirect http://domain.tld to http://domain.tld/gallery

ISPConfig setup:

Code:

Redirect type = permanent
Redirect path = http://domain.tld/gallery/

Which generates these lines in the NginX vhost file:

Code:

 if ($http_host ~* "^domain.tld$") {
            rewrite ^/(.+)$ http://domain.tld/gallery/$1 permanent;
        }
		
        if ($http_host ~* "^www.domain.tld$") {
            rewrite ^/(.+)$ http://domain.tld/gallery/$1 permanent;
        }

If an index.html file is present in http://domain.tld, the resulting URL is:

Code:

http://domain.tld/gallery/gallery/gallery/gallery/gallery/gallery/gallery/gallery/gallery/gallery/gallery/gallery/gallery/gallery/gallery/gallery/gallery/gallery/gallery/gallery/index.html

If NO index.html file is present, I get this error:

Code:

403 forbidden

System info:
Debian 6.0
NginX 1.0.14 (dotdeb)

Please assist, I've tried everything.

Best regards
Jim

 

I've added this to our bugtracker, so we will check that.

 

I came up against this issue as well, none of the redirect options worked in Nginx and for permanent redirects we got the OP issue with the recursive paths.

I added a manual redirect to suit our requirements, which was to redirect a domain to a specific path using a permanent redirect HTTP code.


if ($http_host ~* "^example.com$") {
rewrite ^.+$ http://example.org/target/path permanent;
}

Obviously there are improvements around that using try_files but it works for now.
http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpRewriteModule#if

If I'm reading it correctly, the rewrite ISPC adds would only work if the URL has a trailing slash:

rewrite ^/(.+)$ http://domain.tld/gallery/$1 permanent;



What is the bug # , searched but couldn't find it?

 

This has been fixed in SVN already: http://bugtracker.ispconfig.org/ind...ng=nginx+redirect&project=3&search_name=&type[0]=&sev[0]=&pri[0]=&due[0]=&reported[0]=&cat[0]=&status[0]=&percent[0]=&opened=&dev=&closed=&duedatefrom=&duedateto=&changedfrom=&changedto=&openedfrom=&openedto=&closedfrom=&closedto=

 

Great, thanks, any news on 3.0.5 release date. I have people asking why redirects aren't working so I'd like to give them an ETA.

Thanks

 

There's no release date yet. I'd expect it in October, but there's excessive testing to be done...
