Hello DO Community, I hope all of you are doing great.
I am facing an issue with nginx proxy passing. So far I have successfully install Ubuntu 14.04 and vestacp panel and they are working great. I can even create sub-domains with no problem.
Now I want to create a ghost blog in a sub-domain (eg blog.main-doimain.com) which by the way runs on node. I have managed to run the ghost blog on port 3000 and i can access it using main-domain.com:3000
To access it via sub-domain I have added following server block on nginx (which is installed by vestacp)
server {
listen 80;
server_name blog.main-domain.com;
root /var/www/ghost;
index index.html index.htm;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
}
}
but still i can’t access it.
Then I created a blank droplet, installed ubuntu 14.04, installed nginx (only) then installed ghost in it in the same way and added the above server block. And surprisingly it worked, I could access it like blog.main-domain.com!!!
My question is:
- Am I doing something wrong??
- Does vestacp & ghost work along side this way or not??
- Has anyone tried something like this and succeeded or failed??
Thank you and sorry for really long post.

When i do that my mail service stop working, what should i do??
ip i try to redirect x.x.x.x:8069, i want to show like x.x.x.x
when i try to loging to my x.x.x.x/webmail i get 404
I was able to solve my problem. I had to make following changes to do so:
in the server block:
server {
# previously
# listen 80;
# now
# here a.b.c.d is my droplet ip
listen a.b.c.d:80;
server_name blog.main-domain.com;
root /var/www/ghost;
index index.html index.htm;
location / {
# previously
# proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
# now
# here a.b.c.d is my droplet ip
proxy_pass http://a.b.c.d:3000;
}
}
and in the ghost blog config file:
server: {
host: 'a.b.c.d', /* here a.b.c.d is my droplet ip */
port: '3000'
}
and lastly i had to change iptable to accept request on port 3000. that it!
