Hello,

I try to use Nginx as a proxy (for SSL) on a Jetty server. The Jetty  
application should be accessed by a subdirectory of my Nginx. I have  
setup this location configuration:

location /myapp {

```
proxy_pass http://localhost:8112;

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
#proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For 

```

$proxy\_add\_x\_forwarded\_for;  
proxy\_http\_version 1.1;  
proxy\_set\_header Upgrade $http\_upgrade;  
proxy\_set\_header Connection “upgrade”;  
client\_max\_body\_size 650M;

}

The Jetty server runs under [http://localhost:8112](http://localhost:8112), if I change the  
location /myapp to location / everything works fine. The Jetty server  
returns URLs with the base URL /, so on this configuration CSS / JSS  
files are not found.  
How can I rewrite the URLs, so that all files are found within the  
directory /myapp ?

Thanks

Phil

Hi Phil,

You should specify a URI (e.g., a trailing slash) in the URL specified  
by the proxy\_pass directive:

> location /myapp {
>

> proxy_pass http://localhost:8112/;

…

See [Module ngx\_http\_proxy\_module](http://nginx.org/r/proxy_pass) for more info.

Cheers,  
Constantine.
