To start nginx:

sudo ./nginx

To stop nginx:

PID=$(ps -ef | grep -i nginx | grep -v grep | awk '{print$2}' | tr '\n' ' ')

Kill -9 $PID

Nginx Reverse proxy

When NGINX proxies a request, it sends the request to a specified proxied server, fetches the response, and sends it back to the client.

Here we wanted to redirect request of specific call to another proxy server.

Call is : /jsp/testreport.jsp

To do this we need to make some configuration level changes in nginx configuration file, the location is,

nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

location /jsp/testreport.jsp {

proxy_pass http://proxy-server-ip;

# Optionally, you can set other proxy-related settings here

proxy_set_header Host $host;

proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

allow all;

}
