Nginx simple redirect old uri to new uri

Question

I've got problems with simple SEO friendly redirect. Web page has changed and I'd like to redirect old uris to new ones. For example I'd like to redirect /contact to /contact.html

I've tried

location = /contact {
    rewrite ^ /contact.html permanent;
}

But it seems's that it doesn't work and Nginx keeps passing request to Zend front controller (PHP).

Here's my current configuration (without rewrites)

server {
    listen *:80;
    server_name www.domain1.com domain1.com domain2.com www.domain2.com;

    error_log /var/log/nginx/domain1.error.log notice;

    root /home/domain1/www/public/;

    client_max_body_size 22M;

    #domain redirect
    if ($host != 'www.domain1.com' ) {
        rewrite ^/(.*)$ http://www.domain1.com/$1 permanent;
    }

    location / {
        index index.php;
    }

    # html cache static content
    location ~* \.(js|css|rdf|xml|ico|txt|gif|jpg|png|jpeg|swf|eot|ttf|woff)$ {
        expires 30d;
    }

    rewrite /path1/(\w*)/\w*\.(\w*) /path2/$1.$2;

    #Zend front controller
    if (!-e $request_filename) {
        rewrite ^.*$ /index.php last;
        break;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9200;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/domain1/www/public$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param APPLICATION_ENV production;
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
    }
}

There are a number of factors which could change the way you can fix this. Could you please provide your current server block for this host? — Martin Fjordvald, Jul 12 '11 at 12:58

I would do it easier and put it in the top of your / location

location / {
    rewrite  ^/contact$  /contact.html  permanent;

    ....
    ....
}

I tried but my config still redirects to index.php. I've included my current config in question – Daimon Jul 13 '11 at 11:23
