One easy newbie mistake to make is leaving out trailing slashes for location and proxy_pass blocks. I'd expect the location block to look something like this:

location /app/ {
proxy_pass http://tomcatdomain/application_name/;
}

Note the trailing slashes after /app/ and /application_name/. Without them the routing is not going to do what you want.

Subject: [IE] Redirection

Hi guys,

I am new to nginx and facing some problem with my setup.

In my setup i have nginx and tomcat with the application running on tomcat as http://tomcatdomain/application_name. I want to redirect to application if someone hit http://nginxdomain/app. I am able to do the redirection using location block as:

location /app {
proxy_pass $tomcatdomain;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_pass_request_headers on;
}

http://nginxdomain/app gives default tomcat page but i am not being able to reach the application.
If i do like: http://nginxdomain/app/application_name, then it doesn't go anywhere but gives me the default tomcat page



Regards,
Ricky Singh
