ok, this task should be simple but I just can't get it to work. I would like to have a subfolder after my domain name (actually after the IP of that domain name), which redirects to a specific port on the same server. Essentially, I want to get rid of having to use many ports.
Here is my nginx config for that
server {
listen 80;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html index.php;
server_name aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd;
location ^~ /app2 {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_pass http://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:8001;
}
}
So upon accessing aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/app2 I would like this to resolve to http://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:8001.
This can note possibly be so complicated. What am I missing here?
Thank you
Pat

Since you tagged this as a reverse proxy question, I assume you mean that you want to proxy the request so that user only sees
http://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/app2
URL in her browser.You can change your
location
block to this:Here we capture the URI part after
/app2
to$1
variable, and use it in theproxy_pass
directive.
