You need to issue a http redirect.

You can do that using the nginx directive "rewrite" or the nginx directive
"redirect" (among other ways).

That can work, depending on where exactly it is written.

What do the logs show? "Nothing" suggest one kind of fix; "something"
suggests another, depending on what the "something" is.
