I’m trying to setup nginx as a front-end receiving requests on port 80,
and then forwarding them to another nginx installation listening on a
different port.
The Nginx on port 80 is working okay, I opened up http://localhost/ and
got the ‘Welcome to Nginx’ message.
The Nginx on port 7776 is working okay, I opened up
http://static1.photosite.com:7776/js-min.js and got the page loaded
okay.
But when I try to access the same address by port 80
(Website Hosting - Mysite.com), instead of getting the page, I
get 502 Bad Gateway.
The conf for Nginx on Port 80 is:
worker_processes 1;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
sendfile on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
location / {
root html;
index index.html index.htm;
}
# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
#
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root html;
}
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.photosite.com photosite.com
static1.photosite.com static2.photosite.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:7776;
}
}
}
The conf for the Nginx on port 7776 is:
worker_processes 2;
pid logs/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
server_names_hash_bucket_size 128;
sendfile on;
keepalive_timeout 10 10;
gzip on;
gzip_comp_level 3;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_types text/plain text/html text/css application/x-javascript
text/xml application/xml application/xhtml+xml application/xml+rss
text/javascript;
gzip_disable “MSIE [1-6].”;
log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] '
'"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
'"$http_user_agent"';
include sites/*;
}
and relevant part of the site file included:
server {
listen 7776;
server_name static1.photosite.com static2.photosite.com;
error_log logs/photosite-static1-static2-error.log debug;
access_log logs/photosite-static1-static2-access.log main;
#Block access to dot files
location ^~ /. {
deny all;
}
#Fix IP address
set_real_ip_from 127.0.0.1;
real_ip_header X-Forwarded-For;
location / {
root /home/djeyewater/webapps/htdocs/photosite/CSI;
expires max;
}
location /Img/desktop {
add_header Content-Disposition: "$request_filename";
}
}
Can anyone help me get this working?
Thanks
Dave
