Question
Nginx proxy for apache2 guide, mod_rewrite not working
- Posted June 21, 2013
The guide followed was here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-configure-nginx-as-a-front-end-proxy-for-apache
I’ve setup everything and modified some other stuff to my liking, however as stated by another user, a fresh Wordpress install gives a redirect loop error on the index page. The dashboard works fine. To get around that error, I had to add remove_filter(‘template_redirect’, ‘redirect_canonical’); to the theme’s functions.php file.
Now I try to enable friendly urls with the .htaccess and it doesn;t work, it just reloads the same page no matter what I click. Is there something I’m missing?

Your try_files changes the URL to /index.php in order to send it upstream which looses the pretty permalink.
You might try to send the pretty permalink upstream by adding a named location. Maybe:
location / { try_files $uri $uri/ @proxy; }
location @proxy { proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080; } location ~ .php$ { proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080; }
