Nginx rewrite rule with proxy pass

Question

I\'m trying to implement nginx rewrite rules for the following situation

Request:

http://192.168.64.76/Shep.ElicenseWeb/Public/OutputDocuments.ashx?u         


        

Answer 1

Your rewrite statement is wrong.

The $1 on the right refers to a group (indicated by paratheses) in the matching section.

Try:

rewrite  ^/Shep.ElicenseWeb/(.*)  /$1 break;

Answer 2

You're missing a trailing slash:

location /Shep.ElicenseWeb/ {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:82/;
}

This will work without a rewrite.
