I have nginx and apache2 in the same Ubuntu Server 14.04 and i want to  
use  
nginx as proxy server. My idea is when people write [www.mysite.com](http://www.mysite.com),  
nginx  
redirect to apache and i can do that, but the problem is that apache is  
in  
port 81 and when nginx redirect, the url show [www.mysite.com:81/mysite](http://www.mysite.com:81/mysite).  
I  
just want people to see [www.mysite.com](http://www.mysite.com), without :81/mysite.

Tanks,

Take a look on \*port\_in\_redirect  
[http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx\_http\_core\_module.html#port\_in\_redirect](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#port_in_redirect)  
\*and  
_proxy\_pass  
 [http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx\_http\_proxy\_module.html#proxy\_pass](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_pass)_  
configuration.

You probably have to do a proxy\_pass to Apache and ensure that the port  
number is removed from Apache response qhen there is a redirect.
