How to permanently redirect port 8080 URL to port 80 using nginx

Question

Because of my carelessness, I put http://www.domain.com:8080/xxx/index.html on the internet. I don't want to lose that traffic, so i want to permanent redirect that url to http://www.domain.com/xxx/index.html Can nginx achieve this? thanks

Solution

server {
    listen www.domain.com:8080;
    server_name  www.domain.com;
    rewrite ^ http://www.domain.com permanent;    
}

Should do it.

Click the check mark under the answer that was the best.

Unless you really need the extra folder path - /xxx/index.html

in which case rewrite ^ domain.com$request_uri permanent; would do it.
