I’m trying to set up multiple subfolder to subdomain redirect like this:
<pre>
location ~ ^/~([^/]+)/(.)$ {
location ~ ^/~ask/(.)$ {
rewrite ^(.*)$ http://forum.site.com$1 permanent;
}
location ~ ^/~forum/(.)$ {
rewrite ^(.)$ http://forum.site.com$1 permanent;
}
location ~ ^/~qa/(.)$ {
rewrite ^(.)$ http://forum.site.com$1 permanent;
}
}
</pre>
The idea is that all requests to site.com/ask, site.com/forum and site.com/qa will be redirected to forum.site.com. With the above code, only redirects from site.com/ask are working. What could be wrong with the rest and is there a better way to setting them up?

How would you modify the location line to match, or is that not needed with your form of the rewrite?
That’s not needed – you can replace all of the location blocks with the one rewrite rule I posted.
Try using the following rewrite rule instead, does that fix it? <br><pre>rewrite ^/(ask|forum|qa)/(.*)$ http://forum.site.com/$2 permanent;</pre>
