Use NGINX to proxy a Craft CMS site hosted on apache into an existing site

Question

I have a Craft CMS blog site that is hosted on an apache web server. I would like to proxy that site to my Flask-based web app at http://example.com/blog/ where http://example.com is the main URL for the app. http://example.com/blog/ does not have any application routes so it is a safe URL to use.

Here is the relevant part of my NGINX config.

    location ^~ /blog/ {
        include proxy_params;
        proxy_pass http://cms.example.com;
        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;
    }

    location / {
        auth_basic "Stealth Mode - Coming Soonish";
        auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;

        include proxy_params;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
    }

My problem is that I get the following Template Not Found error.

    Template not found: blog

Any ideas how to fix this? The fact that I am getting a Craft error indicates to me that the issue is a craft config issue, but I am not ruling out some sort of nginx error config error.

Answer 1

I discovered the issue. The issue was a conflict in the craft. I had the wrong URL in Settings > Sites: [This site has its own base URL] should be clicked and the correct URL should be provided. When the site is live I will come back and post more information to demonstrate the result.
