How to configure nginx to work with Jetty6 webserver?

Question

It seems that nginx is used with php, ruby and python.

Anyone has an example of how to setup nginx to work with jetty/tomcat in backend?

Thanks.

Right. I guess I qualify as a self learner, don't I.

Just add these lines within the http { } scope of the nginx.conf file:

server {
        listen          80;
        server_name     mydomain.com www.mydomain.com;
        access_log      /var/log/nginx_67_log main;
        location / {
                proxy_pass      http://127.0.0.1:8080;
                proxy_redirect  off;
                proxy_set_header        Host            $host;
                proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        }
}

I have to try now gzip, SSL and dojo cometd and see if I can upgrade to nginx. Any clues are welcome.

nginx can forward via HTTP protocol, so just point it to the correct port and you're set:

server {
    location /anything {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/whatever;
    }
}

Thank you. It seems that I was typing my own answer as you posted yours. It's my first go at nginx. Thank you.

It is not the right answer anymore! As of right now (jetty9.3) you must use proxy_redirect off; like @Florin showed below.l
