Hi , you need to install epel-release before you can install nginx ,ie,
yum install epel-release -y
yum install nginx -y

For the main setup , follow the steps mentioned in the topic

nginx -t with the help of this command you can config error in nginx config file

Edit the file and change below parameters according to your question.
listen 8096;
listen [::]:8096;
server_name 172.16.238.16;
Under location tab, add below line
proxy_pass http://172.16.238.16:8082

#21

Is it 5000 proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000/; your Apache port ??

After running
systemctl start nginx
Run
journalctl -xe | grep emerg
To get exactly what the problem is

As per my understanding of the question, reverse proxy is configured successfully and both nginx and apache servers are running.

@sreedhar I see there is a syntax error with the setting “client_max_body_size”. The value is “10 m” instead “10m”. Try removing the space and see.

Hi @devops503,

Thanks for the answer. Just wondering, since nginx has been pointing all port 8095 request to 6000, do we still need to specify the root location for httpd? Is it default setting once httpd is installed?

Thanks,
Chance
