How to redirect the subdomain mobile version (mobile.example.com) of your website using nginx
How to redirect the subdomain mobile version (mobile.example.com) of your website using nginx
Hello,
I would very much appreciate any help or solution. Many thanks in advance.
OS: CentOS 7 x86 minimal
Webserver: Nginx version: 1.18.0
Website: Wordpress
Please Note: I have omitted the actual name of my website for obvious reasons.
1. I created a subdomain : mobile.example.com successfully in Vesta CP.
2. I pointed mobile.example.com to the document root of www.example.com
3. The www.example.com has two nginx files in Vesta setup for all the redirections from http to https, non-www to www. In other words, one for non-ssl/http, and the other for ssl/https redirections. (Please: kindly check below for the details for all the files)
4. The mobile.example.com also has two nginx files in Vesta setup for all the redirections from http to https, non-www to www. In other words, one for non-ssl/http, and the other for ssl/https redirections. (Please: kindly check below for the details for all the files)
4. I added this code for the mobile redirection in the nginx ssl/https file for www.example.com:
5. However, when I do the above setup for a new Wordpress installation, it works perfectly but when I use same for an old Wordpress site or a back-up Wordpress installation the message I get is:
404 Page Not Found. The page you requested was not found
6. I'm more grateful and thankful in advance. Many, many thanks.
Here are all the details of the Nginx files for both www.example.com & mobile.example.com.
1. nginx.conf file for the non-ssl or http:www.example.com version:
2. nginx.conf file for the ssl or https:www.example.com version:
1. nginx.conf file for the non-ssl or http:mobile.example.com version:
1. nginx.conf file for the ssl or https:mobile.example.com version:
Many, many thanks once more!
