    Hi there..

    Let's say I have a XF forum on domain.net. Alot of chat but in one area I wish to have a landing page for another domain.

    So I have domain1x2.com - when folks write that in browser I wish they could land on domain.net/bla/bla/ instead..


    URL forward I think - But I host my own dns and there I can't do url forward.

    Anyone who have tried something like that and wish to share a solution?

    Nginx 1.27.x
    MariaDB 10.x/11.4+
    straight from How to Create NGINX Rewrite Rules | NGINX

    so don't need to create a new nginx vhost via centmin.sh menu option 2 unless domain1x2.com is a full separate site and not just domain redirect

    so in domain.net nginx vhost at to top of file a separate server content with domain1x2.com DNS pointing to domain.net IP address
    Code:
    server {
                listen   80;
                server_name domain1x2.com www.domain1x2.com;
                return 302 http://domain.net/bla/bla/;
           }
    
    if your domain1x2.com site is a full separate site with own files etc, then create a new nginx vhost via centmin.sh menu option 2 and replace the nginx vhost with above one
