Hi,

## ISSUE: Static content is not loaded from remote server where application is deployed, rather it is reading from the server where NGinx is installed.

Nginx-1.8.0 is installed (on the server nginx.corp.stel.no)

Proxy pass to another server (workspace.corp.stel.no) for an webrequest

Below configurations made:

```
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name workspace.corp.stel.no;

    location /{
          proxy_pass http://stelworkspace/workspace/agentLogin/;
    }

    location ~* \.(js|jpg|png|css|woff|svg|gif|eot|ttf)$ {
            root /var/gvp/Nginx/nginx-1.8.0/ser_static_info;
            expires 30d;
    }
 }

```

This is reading data from local Nginx server (nginx.corp.test.no) and  
not  
from the remote server (workspace.corp.stel.no) where application is  
deployed

Tried below option too…

```
location ~"*\.(js|jpg|png|css)$" {
    root http://workspace123/workspace/;
    expires 30d;
}

```

Nothing seems working

Pls. assist here? If given an example…would be appreciated

Best regards,  
Maddy

You do not want to use “root”.

You do want to use “proxy\_pass”.

Exactly what “proxy\_pass” to use, depends on what the answers to the  
questions in that mail are.
