nginx：[emerg]未知指令“ absolute_redirect”

Question

I have the following config:

...
server {
  expires off;
  absolute_redirect off;

  listen       8080;
  server_name  localhost;

  # listen 80 default_server;
  # listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

  # listen 443 ssl;

  client_body_timeout 36s;
  client_header_timeout 36s;
  keepalive_timeout 36s;
  send_timeout 36s;
  ....

this config cannot pass the test service nginx configtest . Command nginx -t show me the following:

nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "absolute_redirect" in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:44
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

What is wrong with absolute_redirect ?

NB: nginx version: nginx/1.10.3 (Ubuntu)

Answer 1

My fault, I used an old version of nginx. absolute_redirect is supported only since nginx 1.118
