Dear All,

I'have some urls like these:

https://www.mydomain.com/catalog/category1
https://www.mydomain.com/catalog/category1/product1
https://www.mydomain.com/catalog/category1/product2
https://www.mydomain.com/catalog/category1/product3
...etc...

I have to redirect 301 only

https://www.mydomain.com/catalog/category1
to
https://www.mydomain.com/catalog/newcategory1

and not the other urls.

But if I do

location /catalog/category1 {
return 301 /catalog/newcategory1;
}

nginx redirect all the sub urls with https://www.mydomain.com/catalog/category1 as root to https://www.mydomain.com/catalog/newcategory1

How can I do?

Thank you very much.

Each nginx request is handled by one and only one location. Since these requests match the location you've put, that's where they're handled.

You'll need to set up two locations, once for that specific URI, and one for the others.

See http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#location.

Hi Jim,
Thank you very much!

In LOCATION statement I forgot the equal operator "="

location = /catalog/category1 {
return 301 /catalog/newcategory1;
}

In this way redirect only the exact match with (https://www.mydomain.com/catalog/category1 ) and the other sub urls remains the same.

Before
https://www.mydomain.com/catalog/category1
https://www.mydomain.com/catalog/category1/product1
https://www.mydomain.com/catalog/category1/product2
https://www.mydomain.com/catalog/category1/product3

After
https://www.mydomain.com/catalog/newcategory1
https://www.mydomain.com/catalog/category1/product1
https://www.mydomain.com/catalog/category1/product2
https://www.mydomain.com/catalog/category1/product3
