Serve Express.JS app from subfolder
express, nginx, node.js
Solution
Mind the slash:
location /admin {
proxy_pass http://localhost:3007/; # here
…
}
If you remove it, the real request URI will be proxied.
You can also remove the `/admin` part with Nginx:
location ~ ^/admin($|/.*$) {
proxy_pass http://localhost:3007$1;
…
}
Problem
I use nginx to serve a static html site and a expressjs app under the same domain. My nginx config looks like this: ``` location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; autoindex off; root /var/www/example.com/static/; } location /admin { proxy_pass http://localhost:3007/; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_buffering off; autoindex off; } ``` I'm able to access my app running on port 3007 if i access example.com/admin so it seems that my `app.get('/', routes.index);` is working but I'm having some troubles getting my other routes to work. For example: ``` app.get('/admin/test', function(req, res) { console.log("test!") }); ``` If I try to access `example.com/admin/test` I'll just see `Cannot GET //test` and a 404 according to my logs: ``` GET //test 404 11ms ``` If I change the route to /test it's the same problem. Any pointers what's wrong there. I haven't found a way to make routes relative to the base path they are mounted to (/admin). Thanks!
