Hi there. I'm running webvirtcloud service behind a nginx from public network.

The expose url like this: http://domain:port/webcirtcloud/. My nginx config was like :

location /webvirtcloud {
        client_max_body_size 20m;
        client_body_buffer_size 256k;
        proxy_connect_timeout 180s;
        proxy_send_timeout 180s;
        proxy_read_timeout 180s;
        proxy_buffer_size 128k;
        proxy_buffers 32 64k;
        proxy_busy_buffers_size 128k;
        proxy_temp_file_write_size 128k;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_pass  http://127.0.0.1:4001/;
}

4001 is where the webvirtcloud service exposed.

When I accessed, I was redirected to : http://domain/accounts/login/ , even the port has been deleted.

How can I config webvirtcloud to satisfy this need ?

        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4001;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-for $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $host:$server_port;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Ssl off;

you should rearange proxy_set_header. we use this as a default config. you can try it.

@catborise
Thanks for your reply. I have done what you say but it doesn't work.

The problem is not nginx problem. I can access webvirtcloud actually. The problem is url_root or base_url.

When I access webvirtcloud, it redirect to http://domain/accounts/login/, but it ought to be http://domain/webcirtcloud/accounts/login/ in my case.

Look forward to your further suggestions.
