nginx proxy pass location from static vhost

Question

I have a reverse proxy (80/443) and a back-end application (8015/44315). Both run on nginx.

The reverse dynamic vhost works fine but I have an little issue with a classic static vhost...

rp vhost conf:

server { listen 443 ssl; server_name domain.tld; ssl_certificate /usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.tld/fullchain.pem; ssl_certificate_key /usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.tld/privkey.pem; return 301 https://www.$host$request_uri$is_args$query_string; } server { listen 443 ssl; server_name www.domain.tld; ssl_certificate /usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.tld/fullchain.pem; ssl_certificate_key /usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.tld/privkey.pem; access_log /var/log/nginx/access_domain.tld.log combined; error_log /var/log/nginx/error_domain.tld.log; location / { proxy_pass http://192.168.0.15:8015/; proxy_redirect default; proxy_set_header Host $host; } } 

backend vhost conf:

server { listen 8015; server_name www.domain.tld; root /usr/local/www/domain; access_log /var/log/nginx/access_domain.tld.log combined; error_log /var/log/nginx/error_domain.tld.log; include /usr/local/etc/nginx/snippets/generic.conf; location / { alias /usr/local/www/nginx/; try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; index index.html index.htm; } location /pub { alias /usr/local/www/domain/pub; allow all; autoindex off; } location /static { alias /usr/local/www/domain/static; autoindex on; fancyindex on; fancyindex_exact_size off; } location /vid { alias /usr/local/www/domain/vid; autoindex on; fancyindex on; fancyindex_exact_size off; allow all; } } 

First look, everything should be works. However...

$ curl -I https://www.domain.tld/ HTTP/1.1 200 OK 

Ok!

$ curl -I https://www.domain.tld/pub/ HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden 

OK!

$ curl -I https://www.domain.tld/pub/file.txt HTTP/1.1 200 OK 

Awesome!

And now... without /

$ curl -I https://www.domain.tld/pub HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Server: nginx Date: Sun, 20 Nov 2016 19:04:03 GMT Content-Type: text/html Connection: keep-alive Location: http://www.domain.tld:8015/pub/ 

Why without the trailing / I have this "redirection" to backend port 8015? How can I solve that ?

Answer 1

It's doing what's specified in your configuration - this line

try_files $uri $uri/ 

The document /pub wasn't found so it looks for the directory /pub/ as you've told it to.

Answer 2

Just remove the trailing slash from proxy_pass directive.

This proxy_pass http://192.168.0.15:8015/

Should be proxy_pass http://192.168.0.15:8015

Answer 3

After your suggestions:

backend vhost conf:

[...] location / { alias /usr/local/www/nginx/; try_files $uri try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; index index.html index.htm; } location /pub { alias /usr/local/www/domain/pub; allow all; autoindex off; } [...] 

rp vhost conf:

[..] location / { proxy_pass http://192.168.0.15:8015; proxy_redirect default; proxy_set_header Host $host; } [..] 

It still does not works

$ curl -I https://www.domain.tld/pub/ HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden $ curl -I https://www.domain.tld/pub HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Server: nginx Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2016 08:04:03 GMT Content-Type: text/html Connection: keep-alive Location: http://www.domain.tld:8015/pub/
