Hi For that auction proxy\_pass working but now I have request like /user/ongoingra/display\_ra\_list?from\_period=&to\_period=&type=20 I want to redirect this query for that I have added the following location =/user/ongoingra/ { proxy\_pass [http://192.168.1.210/user/ongoingra/](http://192.168.1.210/user/ongoingra/); } or location =/user { proxy\_pass [http://192.168.1.210/user](http://192.168.1.210/user); } or location /user/ongoingra { proxy\_pass [http://192.168.1.210/user/ongoingra](http://192.168.1.210/user/ongoingra); } but I am not able to get the result of the following request /user/ongoingra/display\_ra\_list?from\_period=&to\_period=&type=20 just like the same other request also i.e. /user/completedra/display\_ra\_list?type=20 Please suggest which rule will fulfill my request to redirect ?

Hi Igor Thnx for helping again. My personal view for that doc is its a very brief document. I have read before I post the above mail. I dont get the fully understand from that doc… suppose what is meaning of the following location /user/ { ===== I have add slash / at the end of /user proxy\_pass [http://192.168.1.210](http://192.168.1.210); } what will be the effect… If what is meaning of the following location /user/ { ===== I have add slash / at the end of /user proxy\_pass [http://192.168.1.210/](http://192.168.1.210/); ===== i have add slash / at the end of [http://192.168.1.210](http://192.168.1.210) } what will be the effect … If what is meaning of the following location /user { proxy\_pass [http://192.168.1.210/](http://192.168.1.210/); ===== i have add slash / at the end of [http://192.168.1.210](http://192.168.1.210) } what will be the effect … Its very difficult to understand all this above stuff with that document only… Tnks for your reply. Sorry for taking too much your valuable time.

It seems you did not read location documentation: ``` Also, using the "=" prefix it is possible to define an exact match of URI and location. ``` Obviously “/user/ongoingra/” and “/user” do not match exactly “/user/ongoingra/display\_ra\_list”. Also “location /user/ongoingra” matches “/user/ongoingra/display\_ra\_list”, but does not match “/user/completedra/display\_ra\_list”. Where should these URLs be proxied to ? Probably, you need location /user { proxy\_pass [http://192.168.1.210](http://192.168.1.210); } – Igor S. ---
