@momurda said in Install Nginx as a Reverse Proxy on Fedora 27:
I am trying to copy this setup but using wildcard cert instead.
So, i have an http server setup with mediawiki. It has no https.
I have this nginx proxy setup so that the http site is redirected correctly.
edit:well it isnt doing http now either Not sure what i did, was working yesterday just fine.
However it wont seem to proxy https.
I think this is probably because my server.domain.conf in /etc/nginx/conf.d/server.domain.conf proxy_pass parameter is trying to redirect to https of this server which doesnt have https.
What to do in this type of situation?
I asked about this earlier in thread, seems it can work. Ive just messed something up.
I have not messed about with nginx.conf.
Not really sure how it can be used unmodified to proxy https as nothing is defined for https by default.server.domain.conf file in /etc/nginx/conf.d/ :
server { client_max_body_size 40M; listen 443 ssl; server_name server.domain.com; ssl on; ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.com/fullchain.pem; ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.com/privkey.pem; location / { proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true; proxy_pass https://10.1.0.247:443; # HERE IS ISSUE I THINK proxy_redirect off; } } server { client_max_body_size 40M; listen 80; server_name server.domain.com; location / { proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true; proxy_pass http://10.1.0.247:80; proxy_redirect off; } }
If you have a wildcard cert, could you put all the ssl settings into their own ssl.conf file? I won't have time to answer my own question till the middle of next week
