Nginx as a proxy to Tomcat
- by Langali
Pardon me, this is my first attempt at Nginx-Jetty instead of Apache-JK-Tomcat.
I deployed myapp.war file to $JETTY_HOME/webapps/, and the app is accessible at the url:
http://myIP:8080/myapp
I did a default installation of Nginx, and the default Nginx page is accessible at http://myIP
Then, I modified the default domain under /etc/nginx/sites-enabled to the following:
server {
listen 80;
server_name mydomain.com;
access_log /var/log/nginx/localhost.access.log;
location / {
#root /var/www/nginx-default;
#index index.html index.htm;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/myapp/;
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /var/www/nginx-default;
}
}
Now I get the index page of mypp (running in jetty) when I hit myIP, which is good. But all the links are malformed. eg.
The link to css is mydomain.com/myapp/css/style.css while what it should have been is mydomain.com/css/style.css. It seems to be mapping http://mydomain.com to http://127.0.0.1:8080 instead of http://127.0.0.1:8080/myapp/
Any idea what am missing? Do I need to change anything on the Jetty side too?
