hi, i asked this question in other topics but did not get the complete solution yet. many problems solved but one final of pice of puzzle is still unsolved; we want to use nginx in front of three cs cart web servers; one server is for images(192.168.1.3) and two others(192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2) for web site files of cscart… this is my complete config so far : user nginx nginx; worker\_processes 4; error\_log var/log/error.log; pid var/run/nginx.pid; events { worker\_connections 4098; } http { keepalive\_timeout 65; include mime.types; default\_type application/octet-stream; sendfile on; gzip on; gzip\_min\_length 1000; gzip\_proxied expired no-cache no-store private auth; gzip\_types text/plain application/xml text/css; gzip\_disable “MSIE [1-6].”; upstream mysites\_hash { ip\_hash; server 192.168.1.1; server 192.168.1.2 down; } upstream myimages { server 192.168.1.3; } server { listen 80; server\_name [www.mydomain.com](http://www.mydomain.com); location / { deny all; } location /csupdate/images { proxy\_pass [http://myimages/images](http://myimages/images); } location /csupdate { proxy\_pass http://mysites\_hash/csupdate; proxy\_set\_header Host 192.168.1.1; proxy\_redirect [http://192.168.1.1/csupdate](http://192.168.1.1/csupdate) [http://www.mydomain.com/csupdate](http://www.mydomain.com/csupdate); ``` } location /nginx_status { stub_status on; access_log off; allow my_own_ip-address; deny all; } ``` } } some notes : 1. cs cart has a setion in its config that i have to add server address and also some path for example i have to define 192.168.1.1 and also define “csupdate” (csupdate is a virtual address of my site under 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.2); then cscart redirect users to this address so it does some redirection so i need to use proxy\_redirect ang proxy\_set\_header as above; 2. the above config is working fine because i set the 2th server down (192.168.1.2) and use 1th server address manually in my /csupdate location but i can not enable my 2th server because i don’t know how to config my csupdate location is there any thing i can do for this problem ??? thank you in advance; Posted at Nginx Forum: > **[nginx and cscart](https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,209882,209882#msg-209882)** > > hi, i asked this question in other topics but did not get the complete solution yet. many problems solved but one final of pice of puzzle is still unsolved; we want to use nginx in front of three cs cart web servers; one server is for... ---

Think of nginx as a transparent proxy/frontend - so instead of giving proxy\_set\_header Host 192.168.1.1; you should set the real hostname of the site proxy\_set\_header Host [yoursite.com](http://yoursite.com); (you can also use $host variable if there are multiple/dynamic domains). upstream mysites\_hash { ip\_hash; server 192.168.1.1; server 192.168.1.2; } location /csupdate { proxy\_pass http://mysites\_hash/csupdate; proxy\_set\_header Host [www.mydomain.com](http://www.mydomain.com); } That way the backends/application should use full domain (the one you pass in the header) in the redirects which will go through your nginx frontend without the need of extra proxy\_redirect directives. rr ---

Hi, thank you for reply… first i remove proxy\_rediretct and add [www.mydomain.com](http://www.mydomain.com) as you told; in this case my address bar change to 192.168.1.1 and as i saw the users directly connect to 192.168.1.1 but i don’t want this; i need address bar always be as [www.mydomain.com](http://www.mydomain.com) then i add my proxy\_redirect code and the browser fell into endless loop; thank you again; Posted at Nginx Forum: > **[Re: nginx and cscart](https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,209882,210381#msg-210381)** > > hi, i asked this question in other topics but did not get the complete solution yet. many problems solved but one final of pice of puzzle is still unsolved; we want to use nginx in front of three cs cart web servers; one server is for... ---

the only solution that worked is the above config but in this case i can not use 192.168.1.2 to load balancing my requests… Posted at Nginx Forum: > **[Re: nginx and cscart](https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,209882,210382#msg-210382)** > > hi, i asked this question in other topics but did not get the complete solution yet. many problems solved but one final of pice of puzzle is still unsolved; we want to use nginx in front of three cs cart web servers; one server is for... ---
