Question
Proxy pass and Nginx
- Posted January 29, 2014
I just installed an application in the subfolder of a WordPress-powered site that’s running on Nginx. By default, the application is accessible by appending a port number to the url, like http://website.com:7512.
The aim is to make the application accessible from http://website.com/discuss.
Looking for tips on how to use Nginx’s proxy pass to make this happen. So far, my attempts have not worked.

Yep, I know it’s easier setting up a subdomain for it. I’ve done it several times. But for SEO reasons, I’m opting to host the app in a subfolder. <br> <br>I’ve actually figured it out, it’s just that the app is at a development stage where it cannot be installed in a subfolder.
Is there anything stopping you from hosting it on a subdomain? It’s easier to configure nginx that way. (e.g. discuss.website.com).
