Problem in $remote_addr when proxying

Server NGINX
1

Hi,
I have nginx as frontend for serving static files and a proxy to
apache for dinamic request.
The problem is on the $remote_addr that arrive to apache as 127.0.0.1

In my virtualhost:

upstream my_webcluster {
server 127.0.0.1:8080;
}

server {
…
location / {
proxy_pass http://my_webcluster;
include /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;
}
…
}

in /etc/nginx/proxy.conf:

proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For
$proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
client_max_body_size 10m;
client_body_buffer_size 128k;
proxy_connect_timeout 90;
proxy_send_timeout 90;
proxy_read_timeout 90;
proxy_buffer_size 4k;
proxy_buffers 4 32k;
proxy_busy_buffers_size 64k;
proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;

What I’m doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance,
Tyler

You need to install mod_rpaf on Apache side:
http://stderr.net/apache/rpaf/

hello there, I’m having similar(more newbie) problem with simple php,
it gives local fcgi address in return instead of user agent’s, where to
look?

sorry, pasting:

server {
listen 10.0.0.100;
server_name .php.local;

location / {
if ($request_method = POST) {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8001;
}
set $memcached_key “phpLocal:$uri”;
memcached_pass 127.0.0.1:11211;
default_type “text/html”;
error_page 404 502 @fallback;
}

location @fallback {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8001;
}
