Redirect only home page

Question

I need to redirect only http://shop.test.com to http://www.test.com/fedex-orders/

Just homepage. Nothing else. ie http://shop.test.com/?page=blog should NOT redirect.

Answer 1

location = / {
    return 301 http://www.test.com/fedex-orders/;
}

The use of = in location= / specifies that the URL must match / exactly, with nothing else preceding or following it.

Answer 2

In case you look for an answer how to solve this in Apache; This would be what you want:

RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ http://www.test.com/fedex-orders/
