How can I get nginx to display webapp in *example.com*/here ?

Posted on July 29, 2016

I’ve built a web app and now I would like to move it to it’s own / location on my domain, I thought doing the following would work;

location /here { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000: }

but that doesn’t work, if I proxy_pass the app to the / location it works fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!

If you rewrite the URL before proxying the request to the backend, it will receive the correct URL while still being served under /here:

location /here {
    rewrite ^/here/(.*)$ /$1 break;
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000:
    proxy_redirect    off;
}

What I mean is if a proxy_pass the app at the / location I can view the app fine at my domains address but I dont want that, what I am looking for is have the app be accessible from mydomain.com/HERE.
