I'm a relative newbie to Nginx, but I've got a problem that I can't
quite figure out.  I need to redirect URLS with this:

<http://domain.com/resource-library>) to this:
domain.com/vif-resource-library <http://domain.com/vif-resource-library>
and I'm having trouble finding good examples on how to set this up in
nginx.

Can someone point me in the right direction?  I wouldn't have any
problem spending hours working on this, except I don't have the time to
do so.  This is a known problem since Monday and I'm just now made aware
of it and the powers that be want it fixed now.

Hi Mark,

nginx has a very responsive list.  The devs are always on there

You could do:

        server {
            listen 80;
            location /resource-library/ {
                rewrite ^(/.*)$ http://domain.com/vif-resourse-library$1 permanent;
            }
        }

That should generate a 301 (permanent) redirect. WARNING: Not tested!

You ever notice how, when you ask for help, not 2 minutes later, while waiting for an answer, you find the answer you had spent all that time looking for before posting a question?  Well, that's what happened to me.  

Rick, your answer was right on the money. I just stumbled across a similar configuration completely by accident.  And yes, it works.  Thanks!
