Why don’t you show us how far you’ve got, what problems you ran into,
and what problems you’re still having?

Thanks.
The problem most likely is that the neo4j server is using it’s own
servername/port for the url creation in the html.

Depending on the situation there are few ways you could fix/work arround
it:

  1. Change the neo4j/application source to use relative paths eg instead
    of
    http://domain:7474/ajax-path just /ajax-path

  2. nginx can override location headers by using proxy_redirect (
    Module ngx_http_proxy_module
    )

  3. If you are unable to change the generated output from the neo4j
    backend
    you could try to use the Sub module (
    Module ngx_http_sub_module )
    in the proxy_pass location with something like:

sub_filter http://domain:7474 http://domain:8000;

… and let nginx alter the source on the fly (though this isnt the best
solution from performance aspect / also there are some caveats if the
response from backend is compressed etc).
