Nginx How do i route to reverse proxy by location

Question

This is my first question on stackoverflow :D

Currently i'm using nginx server and using nodejs server as reverse proxy. I want to make the nginx server proxy_pass different server by location.

So, lets say my domain is subdomain.domain.com.

When loading subdomain.domain.com/, this should serve static files.

When loading subdomain.domain.com/example1/req1/req2, this should route to 127.0.0.1:3000/req1/req2.

When loading subdomain.domain.com/example2/req1/req2, this should route to 127.0.0.1:8080/req1/req2.

But my configuration routes subdomain.domain.com/example1/req1/req2 to 127.0.0.1:3000/example1/req1/req2 resulting error. (nodejs returns Cannot GET /example1)

How should I write this nginx conf file properly?

Problem solved thanks to comments??

Answer 1

Try use rewrite directive in location block.

Something like:

location /example1/ {
  rewrite     ^/example1/(.*)$ /$1 break;
  proxy_pass  http://xxxxxx;
}

You can check documents related to rewrite module at http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_rewrite_module.html
