I'm trying to construct reverse proxy server using nginx on centos 7.

I installed nginx and also nodejs for local web server.

I would like to redirect requests on nginx to local nodejs server (http://localhost:5000).

So, following this page www.packethead.net/2015/01/05/setup-nginx-reverse-proxy/

, i modified /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file like below.

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name *.example.org; # my domain
    location / {
    proxy_set_header x-real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header x-forwarded-for $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header host $host;
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000;
   }
}

Then, using systemctl restart nginx.service command, I restartd nginx.

When i access example.org on browser, just i can see this.

enter image description here

Is there any special configuration which have to be added? Is my above configuration file not correct??

I can not even guess what's fault.

I watched many explanation for reverse proxy.

Can you guys recommend easy explanations for me?

Thanks for watch.

    "redirect", or "proxy". They're two very different things. – womble♦ Aug 7 '15 at 6:13

    Is your node.js server listening on 127.0.0.1? – Michael Hampton Aug 7 '15 at 6:40
  • Yes. the server listening on localhost. – duckdeok Aug 7 '15 at 9:52
  • Sorry for misuse. I mean proxy. not redirect. – duckdeok Aug 7 '15 at 9:54

The proxy did not work because of firewall of centos 7. After shutdown the firewall, It have been working^^
