reverse proxying with NGINX to two back-end servers
- by aag
I am trying to learn how to configure the Nginx proxy. All requests from external (www.external.com) should go to internal server 10.10.10.16:2080, except for www.external.com/nagios requests, which should go to internal 10.10.10.18.
My location block looks as follows:
location ~* / {
proxy_buffers 16 4k;
proxy_buffer_size 2k;
proxy_buffering off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding "";
proxy_pass http://10.10.10.16:2080;
}
# # nagios server
location ~* /nagios/ {
proxy_buffers 16 4k;
proxy_buffer_size 2k;
proxy_buffering off;
# proxy_set_header Host $host;
# proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
# proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding "";
proxy_pass http://10.10.10.18;
}
The first location seems to work fine. However, any request to www.external.com/nagios sends the browser into the eternal pastures. Of course, 10.10.10.18/nagios was tested and works fine. What am I missing?
