Ubuntu LEMP 16.04
I can’t for the life of me figure this out. I’m trying to redirect a .zip file to a page on a new domain. I tried using the htaccess file but It doesn’t seem to be working.
The Idea Is to get
111.111.11.11/myold.zip
To redirect to a page on my actual site
https://newdomainpage.com/sample-page
My latest attempt
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
//301 Redirect Old File
Redirect 301 /myold.zip https://newdomainpage.com/sample-page
RewriteRule /myold.zip)$ https://newdomainpage.com/sample-page$1 [R=301,NC,L]
</IfModule>
Am I missing something, or Is this not possible?

This guide covers how to set up redirects on Nginx.
Placing this inside your server block in your Nginx configuration should do the trick:
rewrite ^/myold.zip$ http://www.newdomain.com/sample-page redirect;
