nginx proxy_pass POST 404 errors
- by Scott
I have nginx proxying to an app server, with the following configuration:
location /app/ {
# send to app server without the /app qualifier
rewrite /app/(.*)$ /$1 break;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_pass http://localhost:9001;
proxy_redirect http://localhost:9001 http://localhost:9000;
}
Any request for /app goes to :9001, whereas the default site is hosted on :9000.
GET requests work fine. But whenever I submit a POST request to /app/any/post/url it results in a 404 error. Hitting the url directly in the browser via GET /app/any/post/url hits the app server as expected.
I found online other people with similar problems and added
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
but this hasn't resolved my issue.
Any insights are appreciated.
Thanks.
Full config below:
server {
listen 9000; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
#listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6
root /home/scott/src/ph-dox/html;
# root ../html; TODO: how to do relative paths?
index index.html index.htm;
# Make site accessible from http://localhost/
server_name localhost;
location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
# Uncomment to enable naxsi on this location
# include /etc/nginx/naxsi.rules
}
location /app/ {
# rewrite here sends to app server without the /app qualifier
rewrite /app/(.*)$ /$1 break;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_pass http://localhost:9001;
proxy_redirect http://localhost:9001 http://localhost:9000;
}
location /doc/ {
alias /usr/share/doc/;
autoindex on;
allow 127.0.0.1;
allow ::1;
deny all;
}
}
