Both are running nginx 0.8.39. Server 1 should be a reverse proxy to  
another Server 2 with nginx and a php backend. but when i set proxy\_pass  
[http://server2/](http://server2/); i can’t open admincp/index.php with the url of server  
1, it brings me error 404…

```auto
location /test/ {
                proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For 
$proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                #proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
                proxy_redirect off;

You didn’t give the configuration for server2, so I can’t understand,  
what do you want and what is your problem.  
You can try to replace  
proxy\_pass [http://server2:80](http://server2:80);  
with  
proxy\_pass [http://server2:80/](http://server2:80/);
