Permanent redirect help

Help

Hello!

I’ve made some changes in my website and I need to do some URL redirects: /personal/{post}, /general/{post}, /explanations/{post}, /tutorials/{post} to /blog/{post}.

Is there any way to do so?

Thanks :wink:

why not use rewrite ? redir can not yet capture {post} part of the url.

rewrite {
    r   /(general|explanations|tutorials)/(.*)
    to  /blog/{1}
}

Hey!

Thanks for that. I tried but it is not working :frowning: (e.g.: https://henriquedias.com/tutorials/mvc-linguagem-php-iv/).

My entire Caddyfile:

http://www.henriquedias.com {
        redir https://henriquedias.com{uri}
}

http://henriquedias.com {
        redir https://henriquedias.com{uri}
}

https://henriquedias.com {
        gzip
        root /var/www/henriquedias.com/public/
        basicauth /admin user pass
        tls ssl/certificate.crt ssl/private.key
        errors {
                log /var/www/errors.log
                404 404.html
        }
        hugo /var/www/henriquedias.com/
        rewrite {
                r   /(general|explanations|tutorials|personal)/(.*)
                to  /blog/{1}
        }

}

Any idea why?

Does it have something to do with the forward slashes? Do they need to be escaped? (My Go regexp skills are a little rusty.)

I tried replacing it with:

rewrite {
       r   ^\/(general|explanations|tutorials|personal)\/(.*)
       to  /blog/{1}
}

But it still doesn’t work :S

Changed it! And works!

rewrite {
        r   \/(tutorials|personal|explanations|general)\/(.*)
        to  /blog/{2}
}

Why 2? Because the first captured group is (tutorials|personal|explanations|general) and not (.*).
Thank you all. :slight_smile:

Oh my! Missed that.

Do you really needed to escape / ? Did you try without escaping it ?

No, I haven’t :stuck_out_tongue:

I think it’s a good idea to always use valid regex anyway. :slight_smile:
