nginx: redirect mobile requests to /mobile/$uri

Question

I am trying to setup my nginx to redirect all the requests from mobile devices to /mobile/$uri i came up with this solution but it doesn\'t seem to work. Is it a syntax problem

Answer 1

You should use different locations:

location / {
    if ($http_user_agent ~* '(iPhone|iPod|android|blackberry)') {
        return 301 /mobile$request_uri;
    }
}

location /mobile/ {

}

btw, http://nginx.org/r/return
