Redirecting from /forum/ to root with nginx

[Brent W]

We recently bought a forum and they installed xenforo in /forum/. We would like to move the forum to root and redirect all old urls to the new ones. I did a google site search but only seemed to find going from root to a sub directory, not the other way around.

rewrite /forum/(.*) https://domain.com/$1 301;

Something like that may work

Not sure if this is solved or not, but this will do it:

        location /forum/ {
                rewrite ^/forum/(.*)$ /$1 redirect;
        }
