/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default is the path given to the default website for Debian based systems. They are usually links to files contained /etc/nginx/sites-available.

/etc/nginx/conf.d is a path used in most configurations including Debian derivatives like Ubuntu and other distro's like CentOS etc.

/etc/nginx/nginx.conf is the main configuration file that includes all conf files from one or both of those directories.

You can usually place a configuration file ending in .conf in /etc/nginx/conf.d

So with that knowledge. Create a conf file with a configuration like the following:

So create a file /etc/nginx/conf.d/tomcat.conf containing a configuration like:

server {
  listen          80;
  server_name     yourdomain.com;

  proxy_cache one;

  location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
  }
}

Note: the proxy_set_headers are useful for logging and apps that need to identify the real client. In theory you can extract the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header to use as the real address for the address of the client in your app or tomcat logs. Otherwise the client will always appear to be the address of the proxy server itself

Solution 2

You can use the proxy module in Nginx. Something like this should work:

server {
  listen                *:80;
  server_name           yourserver.com;

  location / {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
    include proxy_params
  }
}

Solution 3

You should start with checking compiled-in settings for nginx with nginx -V. It should point you to main configuration file, --conf-path= flag.

All other files should be included with "include" directive in nginx. If you want you can add server {} directive to main configuration file.

@xrcwrn - Is tomcat listening on 127.0.0.1 port 8080 or an macine IP port 8080 ? If it's listening on your local machine IP, then that is why it's not working. Change it to listen on 127.0.0.1

Verify tomcat works first. point your browser at 127.0.0.1:8080, If it doesn't come up, don't blame it on nginx.
