Hi all!  
I’m configuring nginx as http reverse proxy. I have another Windows  
server, in this server I’m hosting an application using IIS.  
I’m trying to configure this conditions:

- When enter to [apps.elcomercio.com](http://apps.elcomercio.com) redirects to  
[apps.elcomercio.com/suscriptores](http://apps.elcomercio.com/suscriptores)
- When enter to [apps.elcomercio.com/suscriptores](http://apps.elcomercio.com/suscriptores) redirect to IIS server,  
the complete URL is:  
[http://apps.elcomercio.com/suscriptores/macro/suscriptores\_diario.asp](http://apps.elcomercio.com/suscriptores/macro/suscriptores_diario.asp)

My configuration is:

server {  
listen 80;  
server\_name [apps.elcomercio.com](http://apps.elcomercio.com);  
location ~\* / {  
proxy\_pass [http://suscriptor](http://suscriptor);  
include /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;  
proxy\_cache two;  
}  
location /suscriptores {  
rewrite ^  
[http://apps.elcomercio.com/suscriptores/macro/suscriptores\_diario.asp](http://apps.elcomercio.com/suscriptores/macro/suscriptores_diario.asp)  
permanent;  
}  
}

I can resolve [apps.elcomercio.com](http://apps.elcomercio.com) and when I use elinks I can see the  
webpage.  
Thanks a lot for your support.

Well, I accomplish that with the support of my parter.  
The configuration was:

server {  
listen 80;  
server\_name [apps.elcomercio.com](http://apps.elcomercio.com);  
keepalive\_timeout 10 10;  
location ~\* ^/suscriptores/?$ {  
rewrite ^(.\*)$  
[http://apps.elcomercio.com/suscriptores/macro/suscriptores\_diario.asp](http://apps.elcomercio.com/suscriptores/macro/suscriptores_diario.asp)  
permanent;  
#include /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;  
}  
location / {  
proxy\_pass [http://suscriptor](http://suscriptor);  
include /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;  
proxy\_cache two;  
}

}
