php - Nginx redirect all requests from subdirectory to another subdirectory root -

i'm quite new nginx please bear me.

i'm trying redirect requests 1 subdirectory (store) root of subdirectory (trade). see progress below. site in target subdirectory (trade) magento site of current rules for.

server {     server_name example.com *.example.com;     root /usr/share/nginx/html/example.com/public_html;     index index.php index.html index.htm;      access_log /var/log/nginx/example.access.log;     error_log /var/log/nginx/example.error.log;      location / {             try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;     }      location /trade/ {             index index.html index.php;             try_files $uri $uri/ @handler;             expires 30d;     }      location ~ /store {             rewrite /trade permanent;     }      location ~ ^/trade/(app|includes|lib|media/downloadable|pkginfo|report/config.xml|var)/ { internal; }     location /trade/var/export/ { internal; }     location /. { return 404; }     location @handler { rewrite / /trade/index.php; }      error_page 404 /404.html;      error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;     location = /50x.html {           root /usr/share/nginx/html;     }      # pass php scripts fastcgi server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000     location ~ \.php$ {             try_files $uri =404;             fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;             fastcgi_index index.php;             fastcgi_param script_filename $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;             include fastcgi_params;      }   } 

the section using redirect following:

location ~ /store {         rewrite /trade permanent; } 

this works example.com/store not example/store/index.php or other uri args. have feeling php file section @ bottom overriding processing. why have put ~ in front of store location documentation here states processed first. processing stop or continue on?

i have read nesting php rule have tried no avail.

i appreciate help.

ok try this

location ^~ /store(.*) {   return 301 $scheme://$http_host/trade$1$is_args$query_string; } 

trying avoid hardcoded stuff as possible , using return because it's prefered on permanent rewrites
