I followed this guide to have Nginx function as a forward proxy for apache.. However, when I attempt to allow Nginx to serve static files and pass php stuff off to Apache, I get an error about being redirected too many times.
My nginx server block for apache proxy-ing looks like this
server {
listen 80;
listen 443 ssl;
server_name harmonherring.win www.harmonherring.win;
root /var/www/harmonherring.win;
index index.php index.html index.html;
#ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.harmonherring.win/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.harmonherring.win/privkey.pem;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
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_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_pass http://159.65.176.109:8080;
}
location ~ /\. {
deny all;
}
}
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Hi,
try to specify all possible extensions and everything else ( non static files ) proxy_pass to Apache2 to handle it. Something like this:
server {
listen 80;
listen 443 ssl;
server_name harmonherring.win www.harmonherring.win;
root /var/www/harmonherring.win;
index index.php index.html index.html;
#ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.harmonherring.win/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.harmonherring.win/privkey.pem;
location ~ /\. {
deny all;
}
location ~* \.(bmp|gif|ico|jpeg|jpg|pict|png|svg|swf|tif)$ {
try_files $uri =404;
}
location ~* \.(class|css|csv|doc|docx|ejs|eot|eps|jar|js|mid|midi|otf|pdf|pls|ppt|pptx|ps|svgz|tiff|ttf|txt|webp|woff|woff2|xls|xlsx)$ {
try_files $uri =404;
}
location / {
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
### use localhost:8080 and firewall for public network to port 8080 to disable access from internet;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
}
}
