            rewrite  ^(.*)$  /disp\.cgi?$1  break;

Hi I'm trying to rewrite (0-9)* and pass it to thttpd. But all I get is a 404 error: If i Enter http://example.com/123 I get URL '/123' was not found on thttpd Any suggestions? thanks!

Answer 1

the following syntax should work

location  / {

            rewrite  ^/([0-9]*)$  /disp.cgi?$1  break;
            #include proxy.conf;

            proxy_pass  http://127.0.0.1:8999;
    }

If / should ne rewritten to another URL add this as well:

location = / {

            proxy_pass  http://127.0.0.1:8999/;
    }
