Nginx tuning and domain locking

how can I get nginx to redirect any domain name requests to one unique domain name (possible in apache), and where is the default welcome to nginx page located in the file structure. Also, how can I bench test nginx at all? How do I know how fast it is and how much load it can handle if I need to change the hardware parameters…

put following lines into nginx config of every site

if ($host !~* ^www\.sitename\.com$ ) {  
    rewrite ^(.*)$ http://www.sitename.com$1 permanent;  
}

and

reload nginx service
this will redirect request to sitename.com

just fill in the “sitename” with local site name, correct? and this goes into the nginx.conf file, right? does it matter where this line gets placed?

@rezuser
To get nginx redirect any domain name request to on unique domain please follow this:

  1. create config file in /etc/nginx/sites-available/ like redirect.com
    2.add these lines in newly created file
server {  
        server_name _;  
        return 301  http://www.sitename$request_uri;  
}
  1. then enable redirection using ee site enable redirect.com
  2. service nginx reload
    This will redirect all domain requests to sitename
