I lost my apache re-write when I put nginx in front as a proxy.

I use nginx 0.8.54 to proxy apache 2.2.16 on Ubuntu 8.04 32-bit.

My apache rewrite is configured in the vhosts.conf file:

###
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_ADDR} !^127\.0\.0\.1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mysite\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=permanent,NE,L]
###

When I proxy through Nginx: mysite.com no longer re-writes to www.mysite.com.

My nginx.conf
