I am trying to get a CMS (Liferay), a desktop application (Liferay Sync)  
and WebDav to all work behind a Nginx reverse proxy and can’t quite get  
all 3 working although they all use the same domain. The following code  
works BUT the only problem is that webpages that are returned contain  
links to [http://10.x.x.205:8080](http://10.x.x.205:8080) If I put in a “proxy\_set\_header Host  
$host” then the webpage links are correct and WebDav works but “Liferay  
Sync” stops working.

```
server {
   listen 80;
    server_name liferay.mydomain.com;
    location / {

```

# proxy\_set\_header Host $host;

```
            proxy_pass http://10.x.x.205:8080;
    }
}

```

I think this is a HTTP header issue as I have tried passing all the  
headers that I can find with “proxy\_pass\_header” and but I can’t see why  
the LiferaySync app isn’t working.

Can anyone help ?

Cheers
