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;
}
```
