Proxy_pass to upstreams and then 404 location

Server NGINX
1

Hello all -

I’m attempting to do the following in nginx and having difficulty with
the
last step in this succession.

  1. In / location, proxy_pass to Django upstream.
  2. proxy_intercept_errors is on in this block and does a proxy_pass to
    PHP
    upstream if 404 is returned.
  3. In PHP location block (internal), proxy_intercept_errors is on and if
    a
    404 is returned, goes to 404 location block.
  4. The 404 location block should proxy_pass to the same Django upstream,
    but
    pass /404/ to the Django app.

Everything but the final 404 proxy_pass is working fine. I can send a
“bad”
URL that will return a 404 from Django and PHP upstreams, but when I
tail
the Django app logs, the “bad” URL is what is sent to the upstream when
I
would like /404/ sent to the upstream. I do not need the URL to be
re-written to 404 Error | Domain.com in the client browser.

Thank you in advance for any help/recommendations.

location / {
    log_not_found off;

    proxy_intercept_errors on;
    proxy_pass http://django;
    error_page 404 = @php;
}

location @django {
    internal;
    log_not_found off;

    proxy_redirect off;
    proxy_pass http://django$uri$is_args$args;
    }


location @php {
    internal;
    log_not_found off;

    include conf.d/proxypass.conf;
    proxy_redirect off;
    proxy_intercept_errors on;
    proxy_pass http://php$uri$is_args$args;
    error_page 404 = /404/;
    }

location /404/ {
    log_not_found off;
    proxy_pass  http://django;
}
