Why does using nginx as a reverse proxy break local links?
- by tsvallender
I've just set up nginx as a reverse proxy, so some sites served from the box are served directly by it and others are forwarded to a Node.js server.
The site being served by Node.js, however, is displayed with no CSS or images, so I assume the links are somehow being broken, but don't know why.
The following is the only file in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled:
server {
listen 80; ## listen for ipv4
listen [::]:80 default ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6
server_name dev.my.site;
access_log /var/log/nginx/localhost.access.log;
location / {
root /var/www;
index index.html index.htm;
}
location /myNodeSite {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
}
}
I had thought perhaps it was trying to find them in /var/www due to the first entry, but removing that doesn't seem to help.
