How do I set up redirects in Nginx?

To set up redirects in Nginx, you can use the 'rewrite' directive or the 'return' directive in your server block.

What's the difference between 'rewrite' and 'return'?

'rewrite' modifies the URL and can redirect to a different location, while 'return' sends a specific HTTP status code.

Can you give me an example of each?

Sure! For 'rewrite', you might use: rewrite ^/oldpage /newpage permanent;. For 'return', it would be: return 301 /newpage;.

What if I want to redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS?

You can add a server block for HTTP that redirects to HTTPS like this: server { listen 80; server_name yourdomain.com; return 301 https://$host$request_uri; }.
