add nginx virtual host

Question

I currently have the location alex/ available for users:

location ~* ^/alex/ {
rewrite ^/alex(/.*)$ $1 break;

I need to

add a new location, /alexandru;

make a permanent redirect from example.com/alex to example.com/alex/.

I have created the new location with location /alexandru and it works well, but when i try to use rewrite ^/alex(.*)/$ /$1 break; for the permanent redirect it fails.

Do you understand what `break` does? – Alexey Ten Feb 03 '16 at 11:50 — Alexey Ten, Feb 03 '16 at 11:50
