404 proxy error

[DrTrills]

Hey team,

I am currently have apache2 running as a proxy for a Java Jetty app. I want to switch from Apache to nginx and have run into some issues. When creating a new site-available/enabled and adding the proxypass server block I get 404 errors. When I add the same block to nginx.conf in the http {} I get the proxy to work. Is there any advice or suggestions on getting this to work without modifying nginx.conf and using the best practice sites-enabled/available.

Here is the code I am using successfully in nginx.conf and unsuccessfully in sites-enabled:

    server {
        listen          80;
        server_name     _;
        location / {
                proxy_pass      http://localhost:8000;
                proxy_redirect  off;
                proxy_set_header        Host            $host;
                proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        }
    }

Thanks!

Sounds like the nginx file you are using does not include this line

Closing as the question does not seem likely to be related to this repo.
