nginx proxy not working server block

Question

Im trying to setup a proxy on a subdir but cant make it work...

I want to proxy all requests in a subdir to another port

eg

http://domain.com/websocket/test.php => http://domain.com:8080/websocket/test.php

But cant make it work.. I have now tried to return 404 if a path matching /websocket is requested.. But that wont work either

What am I missing here?!

PHP files are executed as they should..

file structure

/test.php
/websocket/server.php
/websocket/test.php

All URL's are requested without problems, but /websocket/server.php and /websocket/test.php should return 404 (look in the nginx conf)

nginx

location / {
    try_files  $uri $uri/ =404;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
    include  /var/ini/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
    fastcgi_pass  php;
    fastcgi_index  index.php;
}

location /websocket {
    return 404;

    proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}

There are various types of location block and rules as to their evaluation order. See this document for details.

The location ~ ... block is a regular expression type, that are evaluated in order but have a higher precedence than any prefix location (e.g. location /websocket).

If you want a prefix location to have higher precedence than the regular expression location blocks, either: - use the ^~ modifier, or - turn it into a regular expression block and order it first.

For example:

location ^~ /websocket { ... }
