解析404网址并使用Nginx重定向

Question

I am trying to remove an seo plugin from my forum, and I have MANY 404 pages to deal with.

The old url struture is :

http://example.com/board/technical-advice/something-interesting-t2824-15.html

...and the new one is:

http://example.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=2824

So I would like to parse all 404 urls coming into the /board folder, and redirect them to the new structure.

Is it possible to do this in my Nginx config? If so how? Or is there a better place?

If this is just one format you need to do then you can use below

http://example.com/board/technical-advice/something-interesting-t2824-15.html http://example.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=2824

rewrite "^/board/[^/]+/[a-z0-9-]t(\d+).*\.html$" /board/viewtopic.php?t=$1 redirect;

If there are lots of redirects then you should use the approach that @RichardSmith suggested in the comments on below article
