How do I redirect http://www.example.com to http://example.com?
I am using LEMP, Nginx, Wordpress.
Qn 1: To which file should I add the below code to?
server { server_name www.example.com; return 301 $scheme://example.com$request_uri; }
I have a few files in mind (I followed your tutorials)
- /etc/nginx/sites-available/wordpress
- /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Qn 2: If I add the above code, must I still do the DNS part on CNAME (www and @)? Or can I skip this step?

thanks again!
The config looks good. Glad it’s working now! :]
Thanks FMCB and Kamal. I managed to get it to work. <br> <br>Steps I did were: <br>1) I added CNAME record (is this the DNS record you are referring to?) <br>2) I only added the 301 redirect to /etc/nginx/sites-available/default. <br>I left /etc/nginx/sites-available/wordpress untouched. <br>When I added the same code for both, I had an error. So I tried each files individually, and realised only the default file worked after I restarted nginx. <br> <br>this is my pastebin, please help me check if the code is ok. <br>http://pastebin.com/8s6n59m2 <br> <br>Thanks a lot!
