Hello everybody,

I'm trying to set up nginx as a reverse proxy and softwareloadbalancer.
The backend is built by some tomcat servers.
Using apache as a reverse proxy everything goes well, but using nginx
the following occurs:

1.) With cookies turned off in the browser, links and urls look like this:
http://subdomain.example.com/mobile/details%3Bjsessionid%3DF42AFDC7C01E7295B29B143ED6F0772F;jsessionid=F42AFDC7C01E7295B29B143ED6F0772F?someParams=someValues
Somehow, the jsessionid is there twice, but once it is URL-Encoded.

With cookies enabled, links and urls look like this:
http://subdomain.example.com/mobile/details;jsessionid=F42AFDC7C01E7295B29B143ED6F0772F?someParams=someValues

Why is this happening?

2.) Some modules of the site are shown at least twice, again only while
using nginx as reverse proxy. How did I achiev that?

Here is my configuration:

nginx.conf:
user www-data www-data;
worker_processes 6;
worker_priority 0;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
#log_not_found off;
worker_cpu_affinity 000001 000010 000100 001000 010000 100000;
events {
multi_accept off;
worker_connections 6144; #Muss eventuell an die Hardware
angepasst werden. Erlaubt derzeit 6 * 6144 gleichzeitige Anfragen)

}

server{

Would apreciate any help.

Thank you all in advance
