I have a domain (example.com) and a subdomain (sub.example.com) both hosted on the same server. I want to proxy a request so any file requested on http://sub.example.com/api/ will be requested on http://example.com/api/ (along with the arguments) Here is my nginx code from the sub.example.com:
location /api {
rewrite /api/(.*) /api/$1 break;
proxy_pass http://example.com/api;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_buffering off;
}
This does not work for me. What works is:
location ~* ^/api/(.*)$ {
rewrite ^/api/(.*)$ http://example.com/api/$1 last;
}
EDIT: i forgot to say that my server definition contains some more rules regarding Yii framework and parsing of php files. Here is the complete server statement:
server {
listen 80;
server_name sub.example.com;
access_log /var/log/nginx/sub.example.com.access_log main;
error_log /var/log/nginx/sub.example.com.error_log info;
root /var/www/localhost/htdocs/sub.example.com;
index index.php index.html index.htm default.html default.htm;
# location ~* ^/api/(.*)$ {
# rewrite ^/api/(.*)$ http://example.com/api/$1 last;
# }
location /api {
rewrite /api/(.*) /api/$1 break;
proxy_pass http://example.com/api;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
# proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_buffering off;
break;
}
location / {
if (-f $request_filename) {
#expires max;
break;
}
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 last;
}
}

fastcgi_index index.php;

}

include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;

fastcgi_intercept_errors on; # for easier debug
}
}
