B4J Question [Server] Chatroom app behind reverse proxy

[wl]

Hello,

I tried the Chatroom application and ran it on my Raspberry pi on port 8080: this works perfectly.

Then I installed nginx to act as a reverse proxy.
Traffic comming to port 80 (nginx) is to be rerouted to localhost port 8080

When I now go the URL on port 80 I get the login screen (so the routing seems ok) but as soon as I click on the button to login, nothing happens.

I already added

proxy_set_header Host $host:$server_port;

in the proxy.conf, but it does not seem to help...

Thanks !

UPDATE: it seems the chatroom application just does not run on port 80. When I change it back to port 8080 it is working ...

The server can run on any port you set it. You should make sure that your reverse proxy server supports web sockets.

Thanks Erel,

This is what is to be set for nginx:

My Internet explorer still behaves strangely, but this has nothing to do with the reverse proxy.

My guess is that there is already another server listening on port 80.
