Simple nginx rewrite rule

wouldn't that end in a redirect loop seeing as index.php is default index file for /forum/ ?

edit: oh index.php is in main web root and /forum/ is subdirectory !

 

Code (Text):

location / {
  location = /index.php {
    return 302 http://www.domain.com/forum/;
  }
}

 

nginx debug mode also test in incognito browser as your browser may have permanently cached your previous 301 redirect, hence why you should always test with 302 temp redirects and incognito browser first

If you have a lot of free disk space, you can enable debug nginx version and compile a nginx debug build of nginx via centmin.sh option NGINX_DEBUG=y centminmod/centmin.sh at 123.08stable · centminmod/centminmod · GitHub

You can place the option in persistent config /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc outlined at centminmod.com/upgrade.html#persistent so place in file /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc

Code:

NGINX_DEBUG=y

then recompile nginx via centmin.sh menu option 4 and then in your nginx error_log directive add debug option A debugging log and restart nginx and check logs

They will be very very very verbose and lot alot to disk usage logged to error logs, so ensure you have a lot of disk free space.

You can minimise this by limiting it to specific ip based client connections too

After debugging is done, reverse the debug now by setting NGINX_DEBUG=n and recompile Nginx again

 

Do a find command for files and then directories + chmod them appropriately, though i don't think permissions would cause that problem.
