    Hello

    I am trying to redirect from forum to forums:
    Code:
    https://domain.com/forum/topic/blabla
    to
    Code:
    https://domain.com/forums/topic/blabla
    I tested this:
    Code:
    location ~ /forum(.*) {
  rewrite ^(.*)$ /forums$1 redirect; 
}
    and this:
    Code:
    location ~ /forum/(.*) {
  rewrite ^(.*)$ /forums/$1 redirect; 
}
    result was:
    Code:
    https://domain.com/forums/forums/forums/forums/forums/forums/forums/forums/forums/forums/forums/forums/forums/forums/forums/forums/forums/forums/forums/forum/topic/
    then i tested:
    Code:
    location ~ ^/forum(.*)$ {   
    return 301 /forums$1;   
}
    and this:
    Code:
    location ~ ^/forum/(.*)$ {   
    return 301 /forums/$1;   
}
    result was:
    Code:
    https://domain.com/forumsssssssssssssssssss/topic/
    Any ideas how can i fix that?

    Thank you

    Thanks both of you !!

    Don't know why but it works only using:
    Code:
    rewrite ^/forum/(.*)$ https://domain.com/forums/$1 redirect;
    It may not be sufficient at all as if i am not wrong it just creates an extra https request but it's the only one that worked..... don't know why...

    301 redirects are permanently cached in web browsers, so if you had an incorrect 301 it could still be cached. You should test with 302 first or use private/incognito browser session or like me use curl in SSH to check headers
