Forum: NGINX How to write ScriptAlias in nginx.conf like in httpd.conf

I have to configure nginx.conf just like the httpd.conf and stuck while
configuring ScriptAlias. I have

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"

i want to write the above in nginx.conf. How can I write it?

  location /cgi-bin/ {
    proxy_pass http://apache_server:apache_port
  }

(ScriptAlias in apache httpd is for configuring CGI handling. nginx
doesn't handle CGI, so you need to decide how you want the urls to be
handled. This version just proxies them to your running apache.)

Depending on the rest of your nginx.conf, you may want " ^~" after
"location".

http://nginx.org/r/location
http://nginx.org/r/proxy_pass
