You create a server {}
section listening on port 3000 and you just redirect it to another server {}
section that is listening on port 80. In each server {}
section set the listen
property appropriately.
I guess you are trying to handle the redirection within à single server
section and according to this page the listen
directive applies to a server
context
Then what you are looking for is the proxy_pass directive. Here is a sample configuration extracted from an config I have to use nginx as a proxy for my rails app (thin). Basically my app runs locally (but it would also work on a remote host) on port 3200 and the relevant nginx config part looks as follow:
upstream my-app-cluster
{
server localhost:3200;
}
server
{
listen 80;
server_name mydomain.com;
root /root/to/public/folder;
access_log /my/app/log/folder/myapp.log;
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_redirect off;
if (-f $request_filename/index.html) {
rewrite (.*) $1/index.html break;
}
if (-f $request_filename.html) {
rewrite (.*) $1.html break;
}
if (!-f $request_filename) {
proxy_pass http://my-app-cluster;
break;
}
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root html;
}
}
You could use Passenger in nginx to delivery the Ruby app - that's the method we are currently using.
