Any help thanks!

Answer 1

If all you want is to redirect all the traffic, use this following server block, if you want to concatenate the uri then you could add $request_uri in the return statement.

$scheme is used to preserve http and https protocols in the redirected-to location, otherwise you can replace it with either without using $scheme

server {
    server_name t.example.com;
    location / {
        return 301 $scheme://testing.example.com/test;
    }
}

Answer 2

add in your t.example.com location { } something like:

rewrite ^(.*) http://testing.example.com/test/$1 permanent;

or just simple redirect

return 301 http://testing.example.com/test/;

Answer 3

Try this in your server block of host configuration

location /test {
   rewrite ^ $scheme://testing.example.com$request_uri permanent;
}
