Different ways to redirect a URL

Filed under: Server— Tagged with: apache, nginx

A quick guide on redirection with Apache, NGINX, or with plain HTML.

Apache

Use the APache Redirect directive, paste this in your .htaccess file:

Redirect 301 / https://clubmate.fi/

NGINX

Paste this in your NGINX server block, or into a nginx.conf file in your projects root.

server {
  # Redirect this address
  server_name example.com;

  # ...to this address
  return 301 $scheme://example.net$request_uri;
}

Using meta redirect

A more "lighter" method with timing. This goes into the head tag:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=https://clubmate.fi/" />

That 0 is a time in seconds for how long the browser waits until doing the redirect.
