Hi tim,
Hi,
I would like to redirect to an external URL which is hosted as a
apache
virtual host.
redirect or proxy_pass? correct wording is important here
preferred proxy_pass
nginx resolves the host of the url which obviously does little to
resolve to the correct web root on the server.
i dont understand what you mean here. if nginx doesnt resolve a dns-name
how should it know how to deal with it? dns-names are for humans.
yeah the issue does not seem to be on my side, I have have no issue of
nginx resolving the ip but it seems that the hosting company I would
like to proxy_pass to has the virtual hosts configured on the dns names
| server {
server_name localhost;
location / {
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_pass http://www.urlforvirtualhost.com;
}
}

The question is how do I allow proxy_pass without nginx resolving the
ip-address of the host?
but why dont you want nginx to resolve the IP?
i'm not sure this will work as expected, except you put in the ip.
but then the apache on the other side should be configred
with the ip in the virtualhost
generally I concur but how would they be able to, in est multiple sites
on the same public ip but differentiate on dns names (this is also
achievable on nginx) with the default directing to nowhere.
this would probably mean proxy_pass to a host configured to serve
multiple pages as following
http <http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpCoreModule#http> {
index <http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpCoreModule#index> index
<http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpCoreModule#index>.html;
server <http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpCoreModule#server> {
server_name <http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpCoreModule#server_name>
www.domain1.com;
access_log <http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpLogModule#access_log>
logs/domain1.access.log main;
root <http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpCoreModule#root> /var/www/domain1.com/htdocs;
}
server <http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpCoreModule#server> {
server_name <http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpCoreModule#server_name>
www.domain2.com;
access_log <http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpLogModule#access_log>
logs/domain2.access.log main;
root <http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpCoreModule#root> /var/www/domain2.com/htdocs;
}
}
would not work. I presumed there was a option to force nginx to not resolve but
I can see now this is probably not the case and I would need to change to
redirect instead of proxy_pass.
cheers, mex
