I'm running Oracle Collab Suite on port 7777 and 7778. Oracle installed its own
Apache and hacking it has proven to be difficult. For one thing, I can't seem to
get VirtualHost to work correctly. Since it doesnt use port 80 by default, I
decided to put nginx in front of it. I managed to proxy pass port 80 to 7778.
However, it doesnt stop there. Here's how things are now.

My mail is pointed to the following URL: http://mail.domain.com:7778/ocsclient/ My conferencing portal is pointed to:
http://mail.domain.com:7778/imtapp/app/prelogin.uix

As you can see, the URLs are pointed to mail because that's what the machine
name is called. I managed to create a CNAME which works but once it redirects
after you log in, it goes back to http://mail.domain.com:7778/..... So, two things ...

1 - How can I hide the port number, I think I got it to work using proxy_pass
but that only seems to work for one "server."

server { listen 80; server_name mail.domain.com;

location / { index index.html; proxy_pass http://mail.domain.com:7778; } }

I added a second "server" directive for "conference.domain.com" but it sends me
in a loop.

2 - How can I rewrite my URL so that if I go to "conference.domain.com" it
doesn't change to "mail.domain.com." Don't forget the app was installed and
takes the hostname of the server which is mail.domain.com.
