[solved]How to configure apache behind nginx?

[wdicc]

I have setup the forum on server A(it's ip is ip_a) use apache, I can access it use 'http://ip_a/' . I'm trying to add an nginx as a reverse proxy, use settings like below:

Code: Select all

server {
    listen          80;
    server_name     my.domain.com;
    # access_log      logs/alice.access.log main;
    access_log      off;
    error_log  /dev/stderr;
    client_max_body_size 10m;

    if ($http_x_forwarded_proto != "https") {
       rewrite ^(.*)$ https://$server_name$REQUEST_URI permanent;
    }

    location /forum {
        proxy_pass http://ip_a/;
        proxy_set_header Host      $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    }
}

And then I tried 'https://my.domain.com/forum', all css and scripts are get 404 response, and links are using 'https://my.domain.com/' as web root, I've tried to set 'Force server URL settings' to true and set 'Script path' to '/fourm', it's not work, how can I fix this?

Generally server support is beyond the scope of these forums and your issue appears related to your server configuration. We can attempt to help you, but due to the number of varying configurations we may not have the necessary expertise to help with your particular setup. You may be better off seeking help on a support site for the server/set up you’re using. Filling out the Support Request Template may help.

this may just show my ignorance of the subject but I thought that nginx was a replacement for apache on the server. how can you run them both?

I think you all misunderstand the problem I meet. I've solved it by move all phpbb files on server A into a subdirectory 'forum', and change nginx settings to below:

Code: Select all

server {
    listen          80;
    server_name     my.domain.com;
    # access_log      logs/alice.access.log main;
    access_log      off;
    error_log  /dev/stderr;
    client_max_body_size 10m;

    if ($http_x_forwarded_proto != "https") {
       rewrite ^(.*)$ https://$server_name$REQUEST_URI permanent;
    }

    location /forum {
        proxy_pass http://ip_a/forum;
        proxy_set_header Host      $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    }
}

The solution looks some kind of ugly but it worked.
