使用Nginx和Apache的virtualhost

Question

I have set up my local machine with nginx and apache. I use nginx as a frontend-server for all nodejs communication. Every nodejs application has an own upstream defined and an entry in my hosts file, so that I get a handy URL to work with. Also, i have one upstream defined for apache, which works on port 8080 in my config - so that all my php applications are available under localhost/* (internally it is localhost:8080/*). This configuration is working fine for several month now. But this time I would like to set up a magento installation on my local machine. For this purpose I added 127.0.0.1 magento.local to my hosts file (like I did for all nodejs applications) and added the following to my nginx.conf:

upstream apache {
    server 127.0.0.1:8080;
}

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  magento.local;
    client_max_body_size    1024M;
    root /Users/phunkei/htdocs/magento;
    location / {
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_pass http://apache;
    }
}

This rewrites everything to /Users/phunkei/htdocs/ , which is my root for apache. I already tried to add a subfolder to the upstream definition server 127.0.0.1:8080/magento , but nginx does not allow that.

Currently you proxy everything, so http://magento.local/ points to http://localhost:8080/ .

If you want http://magento.local/ to point to http://localhost:8080/magento/ you need to use:

proxy_pass http://apache/magneto/;

If you want to serve some static content directly from nginx using your root /Users/phunkei/htdocs/magento , you will need to add directives to achieve that, such as moving the proxy code into a named location and using try_files :

location / {
  try_files $uri $uri/ @proxy;
}
