I have a simple nginx rewrite here, using permanent flag, it works fine.
location /area1/ {
rewrite /area1/(.*)$ / permanent;
}
However i want to retain the initial url, which seems from research to just need the last or break flag instead.
location /area1/ {
rewrite /area1/(.*)$ / break;
}
After changing permanent for break (or last) , it just seems to ignore the redirect entirely.
Please can someone demonstrate a working internal redirect that retains the initial url – i know this should be simple but i have tried a ton of config variations around the above and nothing seems to work, redirect was more complex to start with but i have reduced it to its basic form just to get the syntax correct , and i'm still failing…
Among many pages i referenced, this is one – https://www.nginx.com/blog/creating-nginx-rewrite-rules/
server {
listen 80;
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
access_log /var/log/nginx/root_host.access.log main;
error_log /var/log/nginx/root_host.error.log;
location /area1/ {
rewrite /area1/(.*)$ / break;
}
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite /wp-admin$ $scheme://$host$uri/ permanent;
rewrite ^/[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+(/wp-.*) $1 last;
rewrite ^/[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+(/.*\.php)$ $1 last;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
}

Your
rewrite ... last
doesn't really do anything.You internally rewrite
/area1/
to/
which is then internally rewritten to/index.php
by the lasttry_files
statement.Without the
location /area1/
block present,/area1/
is internally rewritten to/index.php
by the lasttry_files
statement.
