Anyone know how to fix an issue with Nginx + Apache + Wordpress redirecting to localhost/127.0.0.1? I've tried a lot of different fixes, but none have worked for me.

I can go to http://domain.com/wp-admin just fine and use everything there normally. But if I try to go to http://domain.com it redirects to 127.0.0.1. Everything also works fine if I just run through Apache.

Here are the relevant portions of my nginx.conf:

server { listen 80; server_name domain.com; root /var/www/html/wordpress; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php; } location ~ \.php$ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080; } } 

Here are the relevant portions of my httpd.conf:

Listen *:8080 ServerName <ip> <VirtualHost *:8080> ServerAdmin test@test DocumentRoot /var/www/html/wordpress ServerName domain.com </VirtualHost> 

This is what my nginx log loks like:

<ip> - - [19/Jun/2012:22:35:35 +0400] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 301 0 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 

This is what my httpd log looks like:

127.0.0.1 - - [19/Jun/2012:22:24:46 +0400] "GET /index.php HTTP/1.0" 301 - "-" 

--

WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) both have same http://domain.com

Adding proxy_set_header Host $host; results in "This webpage has a redirect loop."

It also works if I use

location / { proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080; }

but not with any try_files statements that fall through to other locations.

This is an old question, but as I come across...

 location ~ \.php$ { 

It's not enough to proxy requests to WordPress. Basically, you should do it the other way around :

Send all static file requests to Nginx explicitly :

 location ~ \.(css|js|ico|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|svg|pdf)$ { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; } 

Then proxy the rest to Apache :

 location / { proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080; }

  • @PekoChan sorry about that. I can't further comment because I don't use this setup anymore. Commented Jan 12, 2022 at 9:14

This is probably not a server issue

go to http://domain.com/wp-admin/options-general.php after login into dashboard and make sure Site Address (URL) is same as WordPress Address (URL) .

Please set proxy_redirect off; in your location ~ \.php$ block. For more info, please check out the official documentation proxy_redirect.
