Redirecting existing links to a sub-folder to a new subdomain

[codecowboy]

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I got this working. Here's what I ended up with in
case it helps someone else:

"rewrite /student-area/(.*) $scheme://studentarea.mydomainname.com/$1
permanent;"

This was placed outside of any location {} blocks but within the server {}
block.
