Hi,

I am trying to setup route to these 2 url's that are located on the same server and port. Weblogic is handling the incoming traffic on the server/port and directs accordingly.

https://bi.mydomain.com/analytics/
https://bi.mydomain.com/xmlpserver/

Current nginx config looks like this:

server {
listen 80;
server_name bi.mydomain.com;
location / {
return 301 /analytics;
}
location /analytics {
proxy_pass http://server011:9502/analytics;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
location /xmlpserver {
proxy_pass http://server011:9502/xmlpserver;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}

This does not work. Instead I have tried to add 2 separate server blocks like this:

server {
listen 80;
server_name bi.mydomain.com/analytics;
location / {
proxy_pass http://server011:9502/analytics;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}

server {
listen 80;
server_name bi.mydomain.com/xmlpserver;
location / {
proxy_pass http://server011:9502/xmlpserver;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}

With this config nginx complains about the use of / in the server_name.

I am a bit puzzled on how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Cheers

location /xmlpserver {
proxy_pass http://server011:9502/xmlpserver;

Should be;

location /xmlpserver {
proxy_pass http://server011:9502;

As location is passed along.

Thx for trying to help :-)

I changed my config to:

server {
listen 80;
server_name bi.myserver.com;

location /analytics {
proxy_pass http://server011:9502;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
location /xmlpserver {
proxy_pass http://server011:9502;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}

If I now send bi.myserver.com OR bi.myserver.com/analytics I am directed to the correct page. Strange thing is that that is exactly what happens if I try accessing bi.myserver.com/xmlpserver too? Seems to be some kind of redirect still going on but I have none in my config?

Also tried commenting out all the proxy_set_header's but no difference :-(

Any ideas?

Sounds like some default server behavior is happening, you may need a simple location / {} block to catch all other requests.

Googled a bit around and tried this config now but no luck there either

server {
listen 80;
server_name bi.myserver.com;
location / {
return 301 /(analytics|xmlpserver);
}
location /analytics {
proxy_pass http://server011:9502;
# proxy_set_header Host $host;
# proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
# proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
# proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
location /xmlpserver {
proxy_pass http://server011:9502;
# proxy_set_header Host $host;
# proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
# proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
# proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}

Do you have an example? Not quite sure I understood?

Enable debug logging and look in the logs which location is matched against which request.

It turned out that this config worked afterall.

server {
listen 80;
server_name bi.myserver.com;
location / {
return 301 /(analytics|xmlpserver);
}
location /analytics {
proxy_pass http://server011:9502;
}
location /xmlpserver {
proxy_pass http://server011:9502;
}
}

We have a Netscaler in front that had caching turned on for this site. Disabling that made all the difference.
