Question

My dynamically generated pages’ URLs used to be like this:

http://domain.tld/folder/dynamic_label_1/dynamic_label_2/the_rest_...

All pages however now, are moved to:

http://domain.tld/folder/dynamic_label_2-dynamic_label_1/the_rest_...

Note: the last part of these pages are optional > the_rest_.. Meaning, there isn’t always something after dynamic_label_2-dynamic_label_1/

I’m fairly new to Nginx and can not figure out how to set this redirect rule.

My question is:

What is the redirect rule for nginx server here?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Here, this should do it –

rewrite  ^/folder/(\w+)/(\w+)(.*)$  /folder/$2-$1$3  break;

I’m assuming \w would be enough for your dynamic_label. If not, feel free to add the characters inside the (\w+) parenthesis.
