使用Nginx进行301重定向的正确方法

Question

I'm using Nginx as a webserver. I need to 301 redirect url in following pattern

adomain.com/detail.php?name=eC-F_VZ2T1c

into

adomain.com/watch?v=eC-F_VZ2T1c

Tried this snippet

location /detail.php {
    if ($arg_name) {
        return 301 http://adomain.com/watch?v=$arg_name;
    }
}

No success!

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You might have better luck with rewrite - try replacing your return line with the following:

rewrite ^ http://adomain.com/watch?v=$arg_name permanent;

The permanent flag indicates a permanent 301 redirect.

As per documentation found at:
