Faking url

alainmeunier614

Hi,

It might seem obvious for many people but, I just cannot manage to find a way to do it.

I have a static file at http://www.example.com/a/b/file.html

And I want to fake the browser url to give this very file at
http://www.example.com/others/file

I added this rule in the server block :

rewrite ^/a/b/file\.html$ others/file redirect;

But I still get a 500 error, since others/file doesn't exist.
It is just a fake url that I want to get, to hide the real path.

But it seems it doesn't want to make it.

Any idea ?

Thanks,

Alain

Nevermind !

I had to create a new block beginning by the fake path.

Now, the redirects are ok !

Thanks !
