Question

I have a domain like so:

http://source.com

And I need to map it to a particular url from another domain on the same server:

http://target.com/source

Is this possible without redirecting the source? How do I specify this in a server directive in nginx?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Use the proxy pass directive. Example:

server {

    listen 80;
    server_name  source.com;

location / {
    proxy_next_upstream     error timeout invalid_header http_500;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header Host source.com;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_pass http://target.com/source/;
    }
}

There’s more documentation on the nginx wiki here: http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpProxyModule#proxy_pass
