Question

Setting up a 301 redirect with Nginx for my Ghost blog?

Hi there,

I done the one click Ghost install and this works fine.

Then I decided to move my blog:
FROM: blog.club.in (ccTLD)
TO: blog.club.com (gTLD)

Basically from a ccTLD to a gTLD.

How do I setup a 301 with Nginx to redirect all http and https traffic from my ccTLD to the .com?

Thanks!

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your answer.
I have a follow up question.

Which is the file to modify? (is it default) or the conf file pertaining to ccTLD (club.in)

I have screenshots that might help:
1) This is etc/nginx/sites-available directory:

2) These are the conf files inside the ghost directory:

Thanks!

    as @aysadx states, you can it in the /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file. However I prefer to keep things neat and organized.

    Ensuring that the directory /etc/nginx/conf.d exists and this line exists in your http block in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file:

    ...
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
...

    You can create and enter the above configuration into its own file /etc/nginx/conf.d/club.in.conf

you can set the config from <jasonjpeters> directly to your nginx.conf innerline to section http {} like

“`http {
…

server {

listen 80
listen 443;

server_name blog.club.in;

location / {
return 301 https://blog.club.com$request_uri;
}

}

…
}


please know that "..." dots are your other config parameters

    I managed to solve the issue.

    The line to be added is:

    return 301 https://blog.club.com$request_uri;

    Where does it need to go?
    If you’re using the one-click install of Ghost, then modify BOTH the .conf files (for http and https) in the /var/www/ghost/system directory

    Run 

    nginx -t

    to check if the config was okay

    Restart nginx and then you should be good to go.

    The mistake I was making was trying to mirror my .conf files to the above examples. When I just added the 301 redirect leaving everything else as is, it worked.

    thanks jason, aysadx for your help! much appreciated.
