Hi all.

I have seen the nginx redirect guides but they focus on /page to another domain:

location /something {
rewrite ^/something(.*)$ Example Domain redirect;
}

However, I have a node app on app.domain.com but there is an issue with the app. app.domain.com shows an error:

Error ID:​

59602271

Details:​

Web application could not be started by the Phusion Passenger(R) application server.

Please read the Passenger log file (search for the Error ID) to find the details of the error.

You can also get a detailed report to appear directly on this page, but for security reasons it is only provided if Phusion Passenger(R) is run with environment set to development and/or with the friendly error pages option set to on.

For more information about configuring environment and friendly error pages, see:

• Nginx integration mode
• Apache integration mode
• Standalone mode

but the app is running on app.domain.com/admin
and to be honest, I cannot be bothered to try and fix it, because I think it is WAY out of my league.

Is it possible to just redirect app.domain.com to app.domain.com/admin?

Also, a side note. I deployed this app on an ubuntu server WITHOUT plesk, i followed all of the same steps (composer, node etc) and on that server the app is working correctly. the url app.domain.com takes you to domain.com/admin

You could try the nginx directive. I haven't tested this, so use with caution.

location ~ ^/$ {
    return 301 https://app.domain.com/admin;
}
