Nginx forwarding to a different port

nginxPROXY

Alright so I'm using nginx to forward communication to and from my server and clients. My server receives the communication via port 6543, and nginx forwards it to that port on that server (from port 80 on the nginx proxy server)

It works fine if I enter http://mydomain.com/directory/ <- note the trailing slash

but if i enter http://mydomain.com/directory <- no trailing slash

it becomes http://mydomain.com:6543/directory/ which of course doesn't work, because the nginx server isn't expecting anything on that port.

I can't figure out how to fix this. Help?

You need to set port_in_redirect to off on the back-end server use proxy_redirect on the front-end server.

Nginx – iptables port forward + nginx redirect problem

try add this in your nginx config file:

port_in_redirect off

I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but it supposed to be that according to the docs http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpCoreModule#port_in_redirect

syntax: port_in_redirect [ on|off ]

default: port_in_redirect on

context: http, server, location

Directive allows or prevents port indication in redirects handled by nginx.

If port_in_redirect is on, then Nginx will not add the port in the url when the request is redirected.

Nginx proxypath https redirect fails without trailing slash

I saw you added the server_name_in_redirect directive, but you need proxy_redirect directive on the location session

http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpProxyModule#proxy_redirect

You will add something like that

proxy_redirect http://example.com/ /;
