Question

Nginx How do I redirect requests for .aspx pages to .html pages instead?

So I have an old site I made years ago. All urls end in “.aspx”. I made a static copy of the site using httrack and it renamed all the files to .html but kept all the paths otherwise the same. So when someone clicks on a link to my site like http://www.mysite.com/goodpage.aspx, I want to NGINX to serve up https://www.mysite.com/goodpage.html

Hi @letsjam,

You can use the following redirection rule in your domain’s configuration file:

location ~ \.aspx$ {
    if (!-f $request_filename) {
        rewrite ^(.*)\.aspx$ $1.html permanent;
    }
}

Don’t forget to restart Nginx after you add this.
