How to serve Scriptcase app using nginx reverse proxy?

us flag

I have been trying to serve Scriptcase running on port 8091 through Nginx as a reverse proxy. I think I misunderstand what should proxy_pass do because everything I did so far is not working.

The closest I got to my goal is a crippled Scriptcase app login page. Here are the settings:

...

location /scd {
  proxy_redirect off;
  proxy_set_header Host $host;
  proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8091/scriptcase/devel/iface/login.php;
}
...

As far as I know, after logging in, if the page presented was not crippled, the PHP file accessed will be index.php. But all I get is the crippled login page which I can not use to perform the login procedure.

What I understand and expect is that proxy_pass would just delegate the requests. So if I want to access the Scriptcase application I would reach for it through https://myserver.com/scd and I will not see any changes in the URL in the address bar.

Also on the crippled page, I am presented with, I see: You have reached your license connections limit, please choose which session you want to disconnect to log in.

EDIT: I have managed to serve the app on the root with /scd,not as intended but acceptable. All I had to do is the following:

location /scd {
  rewrite /scd(.*) /$1 break;
  proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8091;
  proxy_redirect ~^(/.*) https://myserver.com/scd$1;
}

One problem arose from this setup. Now I can't use location ~ .php$ to process PHP files in the regular root directory for other applications.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
