Nginx, as reverse proxy, could not proxy_pass to a domain pointing to the local JBOSS
- by larryzhao
My environment is Ubuntu 12.04, Nginx 1.20, and Torquebox 2.0.3 which is actually JBoss AS 7.
I have two app deployed on Torquebox, it listens to 8080 and have different hostnames, app1.mydomain.com and app2.mydomain.com. I added 127.0.0.1 app1.mydomain.com and 127.0.0.1 app2.mydomain.com in /etc/hosts then I curl app1.mydomain.com:8080 and curl app2.mydomain.com:8080 both have correct return.
Then I go to my nginx. I would like nginx to pass the visit to www.app1.com to app1.mydomain.com:8080, so I have the following configuration:
# primary server - proxypass to torquebox
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.app1.com;
access_log off;
error_log off;
# proxy to Torquebox
location / {
proxy_pass http://app1.mydomain:8080/;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_max_temp_file_size 0;
client_max_body_size 10m;
client_body_buffer_size 128k;
proxy_connect_timeout 90;
proxy_send_timeout 90;
proxy_read_timeout 90;
proxy_buffer_size 4k;
proxy_buffers 4 32k;
proxy_busy_buffers_size 64k;
proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;
}
}
But it doesn't work. curl www.app1.com returns nothing. And if I visit www.app1.com in Safari, the http return code is 404.
I don't know why, need help.
