Hi,

I am trying to accomplish the following scenario:

1. Requests from the Internet goes to our Citrix NetScaler frontend - working
2. NetScaler passes on to Nginx in DMZ - working
3. Nginx sends requests to an internal server for mycompany.com/analytics and mycompany.com/xmlp - working
4. If anything besides analytics or xmlp is requested, the analytics page should be shown - working
5. Nginx should send requests to mycompany.com/resources to another Nginx server on the inside that has access to a restricted server to present content - not working (could the return 301 /analytics be creating this misbehaviour?)

The inside Nginx conf looks like this:

server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;

location / {
root //myrestrictedserver/common/Data/OracleBI;

}

I cannot figure out what the config on the DMZ Nginx should look like? Any help or tips highly appreciated!

I tried this but only received a 404 from my DMZ Nginx:

server {
listen 80;
server_name mycompany.com;
location / {
return 301 /analytics;
}
location /analytics {
proxy_pass http://internalserver:9502;
}
location /xmlp {
proxy_pass http://internalserver:9502;
}
location /resources {
proxy_pass http://restrictedserver;
}
}


Thx in advance.

Maybe it would have been easier to just ask if it is possible to route from one Nginx instance to another Nginx instance? Sorry about that!

Always possible, check the logfiles to see what is getting passed and on what exactly nginx is giving the error, Curl is best used here.

Thx for reaching out @itpp2012
I managed to get this up and running by using the alias instead of root parameter on my Nginx instance on the inside.

Thx and have a great day
