the port of URL is rewrite to 8080, but it should be 80;

Question

Hi all,

I'm using nginx with varnish as the reverse proxy, which listen to port 8080 and port 80 repectively.

And the URL is rewritten to "www.domainname.com:8080" when i access my q2a site. However, i expect "www.domainname.com:80" since the varnish listen port 80;

I checked the configuration file of q2a, and there's no explicit declaration to use port 8080;

I also checked the .htaccess under q2a installation directory, neither there is any thing related to port 8080;

I wonder why this happens. Thanks.

Answer 1

the problem is due to the url rewrites of nginx redirect when input the url without trailing slash.
