Hello,
I am having an issue with Reverse Proxy to a site that uses login.html
as
it’s index page. I went ahead and used this as my index:
```
location / {
proxy_pass http://10.10.1.158:9080/;
index login.html;
```
When I navigate to the reverse proxy if I can only reach the login page
with
an absolute url:
[http://myproxy.com/login.html](http://myproxy.com/login.html)
instead of:
[http://myproxy.com](http://myproxy.com)
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Scott

I doubt proxy\_pass cares about index fallbacks – nginx will serve
whatever
the upstream hands back to it based on the request. So… is the
_upstream_
correctly configured to use login.html as the default index file? If
you’re
trying to get around some kind of upstream ugliness, you probably need
to do
a redirect to /login.html instead.

Two ways:
1. configure backend to handle “/” as “/login.html”
2. or proxy only “/” to “/login.html”:

Jeff,
Could you elaborate a bit more on the rewrite (I’m looking at some
examples now…still not certain)

Thank-you,

I tried this but the page wouldn’t load anything but html characters.
Javascript did not load nor did any image files. When I attempted to
login after the POST finished I got page not found.
> location / {
> proxy\_pass [http://10.10.1.158:9080](http://10.10.1.158:9080);
When I navigated to the root proxy page, nothing happened. If I
specified login.html, everything loaded as expected and I could log in.
Any other suggestions?

Short version: never use rewrite.

Here are a few debug logs. Also I am testing this all on a local domain
until I get everything working. I know that doesn’t matter but just
in-case you saw that in the config file. With this setup, if i navigate
to my site with /login.html it loads, but if i navigate to the parent
page it does not load.

This is not debug log, since you probably either did not build nginx
–with-debug or do not set debug level for error\_log.
Anyway, it seems that problem is that you still run nginx with old
configuration, because nginx does not accept new configuration due to
many emergency errors. You should either look in error\_log after
each reconfiguration or test configuration: “nginx -t” before
reconfigure to see errors.

Igor,
I got this when running nginx -t:
[root@mwebproxy01 nginx]# sbin/nginx -t
Enter PEM pass phrase:
the configuration file /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf syntax is ok
configuration file /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf test is successful
[root@mwebproxy01 nginx]#
I will go ahead and take a look at rebuilding this with debug.
Scott
