Question
How can I configure two droplets using nginx proxy_pass?
I'm having a lot of trouble understanding how nginx deals with proxy_pass and, after hours of breaking things, it seems that I can't do what I want.
I have two servers with different IP. One will serve a python application, and the other, a WordPress website.
The first server answers all the requests to http://www.example.org, so the configuration looks like this:
```
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.org *.example.org;
return 301 $scheme://www.example.org$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.example.org;
location / { try_files $uri @application; }
location @application {
include uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_pass 127.0.0.1:4242;
}
location /preview/wordpress {
proxy_pass $scheme://192.168.0.10;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
}
}
```
Everything looks and works just fine. The only question I have here is what is the difference between proxy_pass $scheme://192.168.0.10; and proxy_pass $scheme://192.168.0.10/; with the trailing slash?
The other server should answer requests from http://www.example.org/preview/wordpress. The configuration looks like this:
```
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.example.org;
root /srv/www/example.org;
index index.php;
location = /favicon.ico {
log_not_found off;
access_log off;
}
location = /robots.txt {
allow all;
log_not_found off;
access_log off;
}
location /preview/wordpress {
alias /srv/www/example.org;
try_files $uri $uri/ /preview/wordpress/index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(/preview/wordpress)(/.*)$;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
}
location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ {
expires max;
log_not_found off;
}
}
```
I'm pretty sure that the error is in this configuration file. I don't know what location blocks should I use to handle the requests made by the other server. I really appreciate if anyone can give me an 101 class about nginx proxy_pass
