Plesk 12.5 Nginx port forward to Node app

[DavidBWieler]

Trying to proxy_pass Nginx to a node app, but nothing I do works.

I've tried to add my "location / {}" to
include "/var/www/vhosts/system/example.com/conf/vhost_nginx.conf";

but it gives me an error saying that it's a duplicate.

I've also tried adding the new routing to "Additional nginx directives", but it gives me the same error.

I also tried adding, "location ^~ /$ {}"

But that does nothing as well, but I get no errors with this one.

I need to force Nginx to port forward everything on port 80 and 443, (I have a working SSL Cert that DOES work if I go directly to my node app, https://example.com:3000).

How can I get Plesk's Nginx configs to proxy_pass everything to my node app? I've also tried installing JXCore's Node Extension. I get an error, and their support people dont respond to questions.

I can't help you with the forward but don't waste your time on JXCore. Development has ceased. http://www.nubisa.com/nubisa-halting-active-development-on-jxcore-platform/

You should try and use something like...

Additional nginx directives

location = / {
return 301 https://domain.tld:3000;
}

I hope that helps

Is it possible to also forward parameters?

…
Additional nginx directives

location = / {
return 301 https://domain.tld:3000;
}

…

So far this works for me, I modified your example like this:

location = / {
    return 301 http://52.55.142.120:10080/api/download;
}

So externally I use a subdomain call, like https://mysub.domain.tlg which by this directive successfully routes to a webapp, listening on port 10080

Is it possible to forward parameters? Like in such external call: https://mysub.domain.tlg?param1=this&param2=that

Example?
