I'm setting Nginx to forward requests to several backend services using proxy_pass

A few of them I have to add rewrite rules to strip the folder off, however for this particular service, the rewrite rule isn't working on styles/images. Any tips?

~$ tail /var/log/nginx/error.log
2012/02/09 10:57:19 [error] 4103#0: *10 open() "/var/www/images/blank.gif" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 203.xxx.xxx.xxx, server: example.net, request: "GET /images/blank.gif HTTP/1.1", host: "example.net", referrer: "https://example.net/hp/"

  • I just wanted to say the English NGINX support forum is incredibly helpful and you'll often get a quick response. I'm not saying this site isn't helpful, but just for really tech specific requests on NGINX I typically post in there as well as server fault Commented Mar 10, 2012 at 10:31

I think your settings are incorrect. When there is a request to https://example.net/images/blank.gif it is sent to http://192.168.1.2/images/blank.gif and there will be a 404. Your two rewrites do not match, of course, because this request does not begin with /hp. Maybe you want proxy_pass http://192.168.1.2/hp?

  • the request for the image originated from the /hp/ page. URLs requested on the /hp/ need to be rewritten to include /hp/ in them. This rewriting works on other services Commented Feb 9, 2012 at 10:37
  • In any case, example.net/images/blank.gif won't work, as it does not begin with /hp (this conf is for example.net, isn't it?). Only example.net/hp/images/blank.gif may work? Commented Feb 9, 2012 at 14:29
