Hello

I have just managed to install nginx on Linux.

I am having 2 problems:

1. Error: proxy\_pass" may not have URI part in location  
my conf :  
location ~ /fb/ {  
proxy\_pass  
[http://xyz.dev:3000/fb/restserver.php](http://xyz.dev:3000/fb/restserver.php);

2. Problem with upstream  
I would like to point to restserver.php. I do not know how to do so.

upstream backend {

```
    server xyz.dev:3000;
}

server {
    listen 4242;
    server_name xyz.dev;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/sng-nginx.log main;

    location ~ /fb/ {
        proxy_pass http://backend;

```

I am using nginx version: nginx-0.7.61.

Thanks in advance - Manjeet
