I am configuring camunda webapp with nginx reverse proxy. Applications is loading perfectly fine using location / (Root Path). But I need to access it using a readable location path e.g. /process/. I tried a lot with several rewrites and redirections but to no success.
At root path all the static content loads but with other location path it fails. I’m a newbie in Nginx So it would make complete sense if i’m missing something very trivial.
Here is my config with location as Root Path:
server {
listen 8080;
server_name abc.xyz.net;
rewrite_log on;
error_log /var/log/nginx/localhost.error_log notice;
location / {
# Simple requests
if ($request_method ~* "(GET|POST)") {
add_header "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" *;
}
# Preflighted requests
if ($request_method = OPTIONS ) {
add_header "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" *;
add_header "Access-Control-Allow-Methods" "GET, POST, OPTIONS, HEAD";
add_header "Access-Control-Allow-Headers" "Authorization, Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept";
return 200;
}
proxy_pass http://camunda-webapp.xyz.net;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host/;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_pass_request_headers on;
proxy_read_timeout 180s;
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
}
}
On another context, If I try to give full URL in proxy_pass(Refer below config) then it works but the browser URL gets completely changed to proxy_pass URL.(I had even tried with proxy_redirect to retain the original URL but it doesn’t work)
server {
listen 8080;
server_name abc.xyz.net;
rewrite_log on;
error_log /var/log/nginx/localhost.error_log notice;
location /process/ {
rewrite ^\/(?>[process]+)(\/.*) $1 break;
# Simple requests
if ($request_method ~* "(GET|POST)") {
add_header "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" *;
}
# Preflighted requests
if ($request_method = OPTIONS ) {
add_header "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" *;
add_header "Access-Control-Allow-Methods" "GET, POST, OPTIONS, HEAD";
add_header "Access-Control-Allow-Headers" "Authorization, Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept";
return 200;
}
proxy_pass http://camunda-webapp.xyz.net/app/welcome/default;
proxy_redirect http://camunda-webapp.xyz.net/app/welcome/default https://abc.xyz.net/process
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host/process;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_pass_request_headers on;
proxy_read_timeout 180s;
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
}
}
Any kind of info or help will be appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
Bella Ciao!
