I have a a domain: www.olddomain.com
I am moving to www.newdomain.com
and I am using currently using nginx with this parameters:
server_name www.olddomain.com;
access_log /var/log/nginx.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx.error.log debug;
root /var/www/webroot/;
location / {
index index.php index.html index.htm;
if (-f $request_filename) {
break;
}
rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?url=$1 last;
}
location ~ .*\.php[345]?$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/webroot$fastcgi_script_name;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
}
Now I want to redirect the people that are contacting the old domain the
the exact same place on the new domain BUT I want to communicate the people
that we have a new domain name.
I thought that the way to do it is to have an address that have a message
that is a little better but not that different than "We changed name, you
will be redirected in 5 sec" and then redirect them to the new domain (that
nginx should pass as a query parameter called newurl). The redirect splash
page is at /OldSite/home (but using the old rewrite schema - I am using
CakePHP)
This is my attempt but it does not work:
server_name www.olddomain.com;
access_log /var/log/nginx.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx.error.log debug;
root /var/www/html/app/webroot/;
location / {
index index.php index.html index.htm;
if (-f $request_filename) {
break;
}
rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?url=/OldSite/home?urlnew=
www.newdomain.com/$request_uri last;
}
It looks like the rewrite work but it seems that cakePHP does some magic
and I see the same as I did not change anything: the site completely
ignore "/OldSite/home?urlnew=www.newdomain.com/". I am not sure what
CakePHP is doing at the routing level.
Anyway, how can I make it work?
Best,
Chris
