How to configure nginx server for OpenKM with virtual host

[tiopourtu]

Dear All,

I run the OpenKM with Nginx as a reverse proxy and it work just fine. But when I use the server to work with another application I face the problem with Nginx configuration. I'm not sure if it could be done or not. Here's the story:

1. I install the OpenKM in /opt/openkm
2. In Nginx sites-enabled I have : openkm with below configuration:
   Code: Select all

   server {
       server_name portal.webserver.com;
       rewrite ^/$ /OpenKM/ permanent;
   
       location /OpenKM/ {
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
            proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/OpenKM/;
       }
   }

3. From that point I can access portal.webserver.com and then got redirected to portal.webserver.com/OpenKM/
4. Then I add another webserver call it : portal with below configuration:
   Code: Select all

   server {
           listen 80;
           root /var/www/;
           index index.php index.html index.htm;
   
           server_name portal.webserver.com;
   
           location / {
                   try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
           }
           location ~ \.php$ {
                   proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                   proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
                   proxy_set_header Host $host;
                   proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:81;
           }
           location ~ /\.ht {
                   deny all;
           }
   }
   

5. What I want to achieve is when I type http://portal.webserver.com it will display the portal home which is served by Apache via port 81
6. and when I type http://portal.webserver.com/OpenKM it will display portal.webserver.com/OpenKM which is served by tomcat via port 8080
7. Unfortunately I got no luck because I think those configuration is totally wrong but I don't now how to achieve it.

I appreciate for any suggestion...

Thanks,
Tio

I suggest for this question go to http://forum.nginx.org/ because is so much specific question. Normally us we configure apache and we've not been involved in this type of configuration you suggested.
