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

server {

  listen 80
  listen 443;

  server_name blog.club.in;

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

}

Hi All, this is an old topic. But I am trying to setup a 301 permanent redirect on my Ubuntu 18.04, Ghost 3.0 DigitalOcean Site.

I tried modifying etc/nginx/nginx.conf with the following server settings:

server {
    . . .
    server_name diyzam.com www.diyzam.com;

    rewrite ^/ads.txt$ https://api.nitropay.com/v1/ads-676.txt permanent;
    . . .
}

But when i run nginx -t it says “server” directive not allowed. I suspect its related to the ghost installation. Based on what I read here, it seems I may need to be modifying different nginx.conf file/s. But which ones? And where?

In /var/www/ghost/system there is an nginx-root folder, but its empty. I tried adding the modified nginx.conf file there, but it does not seem to effect anything. I’m just guessing here now. Any help?

Thanks

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

...

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

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: https://i.imgur.com/OUF2UIR.png

2. These are the conf files inside the ghost directory: https://i.imgur.com/gnKMKup.png

Thanks!
