Redirecting NGINX Domain From One To Another
For example, let's say we are developing several server and now we want to maintenance it.
the visitor will be confused if we directing it without the notice of maintenance. This can be done by doing nginx rewrite from actual domain to maintenance domain.
open you nginx server block by typing :
nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/your-server-block-name
and add the bolded line below your server_name :
server {
server_name mydomain.com;
rewrite ^ http://www.adifferentdomain.com$request_uri? permanent;
}
This will temporarily redirect your website to maintenance page
