Hello,

I'm migrating an app from Apache/JBoss to nginx/Glassfish. I think I'm starting to grasp the server-location design but am getting errors when I try to proxy a request to Glassfish. Here's a clip from my config:

server { server_name www.foobar.com foobar.com; root html/prod; index index.html; location /dc { proxy_pass $scheme://localhost:8080$request_uri; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; } }

The gist of it is I want all dynamic content (dc) to go to glassfish, i.e. foobar.com/dc/somepath/page.jsp Everything else (presumably the static content) is served from html/prod. (That part works) I want the path to determine what happens, not the file extensions (because I have some .js that is static and other that is generated by the server).

I have a "hello world" app running on glassfish that works when accessed directly from localhost:8080/webtest/home, but when I try foobar.com/dc/webtest/home I get a 502 Bad Gateway error in the browser. The nginx error log reports this:

2011/04/08 14:13:30 [notice] 3884#3940: signal process started 2011/04/08 14:13:35 [error] 828#3472: *6 no resolver defined to resolve localhost, client: 127.0.0.1, server: www.foobar.com, request: "GET /dc/webtest/home HTTP/1.1", host: "foobar.com"

Any ideas what might be wrong with my configuration? Thanks! Greg
