  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Question How does location and proxy_pass work?

New Pleskian
Hi,

for basic testing I have set up a simple node server listening on port 5100 and a nginx directive
Code:
location /api/ {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5100/api/;
}

I am pretty new at this, but doesn't this directive mean, that a request like
Code:
https://myserver.com/api/xxxx
will be redirected to
Code:
http://127.0.0.1:5100/api/xxxx
I get an empty 200 response (was expecting a simple string).

A request to
Code:
location /api/ {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5100/;
}
is working fine, but is not routed to /api/xxxx like I want it to.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks
