Nginx does not support .htaccess files, which means that the syntax and directives used in a .htaccess file cannot be used in Nginx. However, it is possible to attain equivalent outcomes by adding the required directives to your Nginx configuration file.

Below are the steps to redirect URLs in Nginx:

- In the Nginx configuration file, create a server block for your domain. The actual location of the Nginx configuration file can vary depending on your distribution, but it is commonly located at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf.

- Within the server block, add a location block for the URL you want to redirect. For instance, to redirect, http://example1.com/foo to http://example1.com/bar, add the following location block:

Code:

location /foo {

return 301 http://example1.com/bar;

}

The return directive is utilized to send a 301 redirect status code along with the updated URL.

- To apply the changes, save the Nginx configuration file and restart Nginx. The command required to restart Nginx varies based on your distribution, but it's usually one of the following:

Code:

sudo service nginx restart

do systemctl restart nginx

sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart

If you are using Plesk:

- To get started, log in to your Plesk account and navigate to the "Domains" section.

- To configure the desired domain, click on it.

-Access the "Apache & Nginx Settings" tab by clicking on it.

- Scroll down to the "Additional Nginx directives" section and include the following code:

Code:

location /foo {

return 301 http://example1.com/bar;

}

Replace "example1.com/bar" with the new URL you want to redirect to.

- To save the changes, click the "OK" button.
