Hello,

I am breaking my head against the wall since his morning on this issue maybe you can help me.

I have a single physical server hosting tomcat WARs and also other standalone services. I use subdomains and Nginx to route to the requested service.
Tomcat append to URIs the name of the deployed WAR. For example, if I deploy myApp.war on my tomcat server, I can access it through http://mydomain.com:8080/myApp/.
What I want is to acces my service through http://myApp.domain.com and navigate my service AND whitout having http://myApp.domain.com/myApp/ !

I wrote this conf :

server {
server_name myapp.domain.com;
root /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/myapp;
access_log /var/log/nginx/myapp.domain.com_access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/myapp.domain.com_error.log;

location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/myapp;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}

location /myapp {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/myapp;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}

If I access http://myapp.domain.com/, my browser rewrites this url to http://myapp.domain.com/myapp/. I would like to avoid the /myapp/ repeated.

Do you have hints or comments to help me ?

Thanks a lot
