 |
|
Hi, i need translate this nginx rule to apache location.
| Code: | location = / {
try_files $uri/index.html index.html;
root public;
}
|
and
| Code: | location / {
proxy_pass http://apache$request_uri;
} |
I wrote something like this but it doesn't work:
| Code: | <LocationMatch "^/$">
ProxyPass http://example1.local # this is serwer name
</LocationMatch>
<LocationMatch "^/.*$">
ProxyPass "http://example2.local"
</LocationMatch> |
How to check if the request is exactly for root url ? |

The Location directive for Nginx evidently behaves somewhat differently to that for Apache.
To pick up requests for the site root with Apache, I'd use Location rather than LocationMatch, e.g.
| Code: | <Location "/">
ProxyPass http://example1.local/
</Location>
<LocationMatch "^/(.+)$">
ProxyPass "http://example2.local/$1"
</LocationMatch>
|
Note, I've added a trailing slash to the Location ProxyPass target. Also the $1 in the LocationMatch target is needed to pick up the matching regex, so I've specified "(.+)" rather than "(.*)".
I also got a syntax error (checked with httpd -t) due to your comment in the ProxyPass line. This directive takes a lot of non-comment options, so suggest you move any comment to it's own line.
You may want to add matching ProxyPassReverse directives, depending on your proxied content. |

How do I change the proxy pass to localhost and disable processing of the other rules?
| Code: | <Location "/">
ProxyPass http://localhost/
</Location> |

I'm sorry, but you don't provide enough details to explain what you mean by "other rules" (presume you mean configuration directives).
In your original post, your first Nginx location block contains an equals sign, which therefore matches a site request with NO path. If that matches it looks for a single local index.html file. The second nginx location block matches ALL other site request paths, and proxies them over to a server named "apache".
Based on your Apache LocationMatch blocks, I then replied with what I thought matched your original question, but evidently I've misunderstood (though I did wonder why you'd want to proxy a request for the site root index.html file to a remote server).
Can you describe in words what content you wish to serve from what request paths? |

I need to combine nginx configuration:
| Code: | location = / {
try_files $uri/index.html index.html;
root public;
} |
with apache:
<LocationMatch "^/.*$">
ProxyPass "http://example2.local"
</LocationMatch>
In the previous answer there is the configuration of the location directive for "/" but I do not know how to redirect the request according to the nginx configuration: | Code: | | try_files $uri/index.html index.html; |
