Hello,
This is my first droplet, using Ubuntu 20.04, and I’ve followed all the steps for setting up everything, but I get the error unknown directive “proxy_pass” in “/etc/nginx/sistes-enabled/my-website” when starting/restarting nginx. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

Hi there,
I believe that the proxy_pass directive needs to be specified inside the location{} directive.
If this does not work, feel free to share your Nginx Server Block here so I could advise you further.

@bobbyiliev thanks for the reply, bellow it’s my server configuration with the location directive.
Upon further inspection, running nginx -V I see no reference to the module ngx_http_proxy_module.
server {
# Listen HTTPS
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name grupovapo.com;
# Static Root
location / {
root /home/primariu/grupo-vapo-admin;
}
# Strapi API
location /api/ {
rewrite ^/api/?(.*)$ /$1 break;
proxy_pass http://strapi;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";

}
# Strapi Dashboard
