Wordpress nginx redirect loop

Question

So, yesterday I had a question how to install the wordpress in the \"/root\" directory. I wasn\'t very successful in that one and I forgo\'ed on that one.

So, right

Answer 1

I had a similar problem using Nginx as a reverse proxy for Apache.

After a few hours I found out it was caused by the $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] being set to index.php by Nginx instead of the actual url and Wordpress was trying to remove index.php by redirecting to the url without index.php in wp-includes/canonical.php.

The solution for me is using something like this,

proxy_pass http://111.111.111.111:8080$request_uri;

So adding the $request_uri fixed it.
