Nitin Srivastava asked:
I have been working with apache for years and now wanted to move to nGinx keeping in view the performance everyone on internet seems to be talking about. But I its very frustrating for me for not being able to rewrite a non-www url to www i.e. example.com to www.example.com
I have referred to all the posts on StackOverflow and have tried their configurations. Somehow the system does not seem to work. I have wasted more than 2 hours in this and need help from you. My nGinx version is 1.2.1. This was 15sec work in Apache. I have somehow started missing apache.
My answer:
Taken from my site www.yes-www.org:
server {
listen [::]:80;
server_name example.com;
return 301 http://www.example.com$request_uri;
}
Your other server block should not respond to example.com, but only www.example.com.
