How to redirect users accessing www.mydomain.com to mydomain.com in my PaaS environment?

Issue

• We need to implement a rewrite rule that change the URL in a client request from www.mydomain.com to mydomain.com.
• How should we proceed to configure this in our PaaS environment?

Environment

• Liferay PaaS

Resolution

WARNING! The below solution represents only a hint. Portal administrators shall perform NGINX configurations at their own discretion. Liferay Support is limited in assisting with the below topic.

• Following the Nginx official documentation, you may be able to achieve the desired behavior by adding the following configuration to your nginx.conf file:
  

  server {
      listen 80;
      server_name www.mydomain.com;
      return 301 $scheme://mydomain.com$request_uri;
  }
