nginx proxy rewrite not matching

Question

I'm setting Nginx to forward requests to several backend services using proxy_pass

A few of them I have to add rewrite rules to strip the folder off, however for this particular service, the rewrite rule isn't working on styles/images. Any tips?

Answer 1

I think your settings are incorrect. When there is a request to https://example.net/images/blank.gif it is sent to http://192.168.1.2/images/blank.gif and there will be a 404. Your two rewrites do not match, of course, because this request does not begin with /hp. Maybe you want proxy_pass http://192.168.1.2/hp?
