Nginx reverse proxy configuration

Question

I need nginx to reverse- proxy GET and POST requests of the form:

/myapp/path/to/resource

to:

http://127.0.0.1:9090/path/to/resource

I'm trying the following:

location /myapp/(.*) {
  rewrite $1;
  proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9090;
}

but nginx is returning a HTTP 405 error [not allowed].

Any ideas on how to fix this ? Thanks.

Was you able to fix this, I have similar problem, I have the same requirements e.g. /myApp1/A to 127.0.0.1:8080/A and /myApp2/A to 127.0.0.1:8081/A — Mubasher

You don't actually need to do a rewrite. You can achieve the same end with the following:

location /myapp/ {
  proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9090/;
}

You probably meant to leave the 'myapp' off of the proxy_pass.
