nginx.conf redirect multiple conditions

Question

I want to redirect requests on two conditions using nginx.

This doesn\'t work:

  if ($host = \'domain.com\' || $host = \'domain2.com\'){
    rewrite ^/(         


        

Answer 1

I had this same problem before. Because nginx can't do complex conditions or nested if statements, you need to evaluate over 2 different expressions.

set a variable to some binary value then enable if either condition is true in 2 different if statements:

set $my_var 0;
if ($host = 'domain.com') {
  set $my_var 1;
}
if ($host = 'domain2.com') {
  set $my_var 1;
}
if ($my_var = 1) {
  rewrite ^/(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 permanent;
}
