Content Editor behind Nginx

Dariusz Leonarski OpenText Employee

over 4 years ago

Hello Forum,

I found similar question community.microfocus.com/.../2705014 but NAM differs a bit from Nginx.

Like in the mentioned thread I see empty screen only or (with a bit different Nginx settings) a popup message that "CE was not able to read document. Please contact admin". Inside "LAN" CE works fine.

In the context of other project I'm able to manage WebSocket traffic via Nginx as a reverse proxy.

I tried to copy & modify these setttings but without positive results.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Regards, Dariusz

I was using this information too: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/nginx-reverse-proxy/
But in my case it did not really help.

Thanks, Diethmar.

I gave up at the moment, sacrified one external IP and arranged port redirection at firewall. Finally, it works.
I will return to this issue later on.

So, I am using nginx as a reverse proxy and both filr and ce works as designed. Perhaps post your server block code for clues?

I will give it another try.
It is important for me that there is someone who had success. Do the message for me is "Don't give up".

Okay, ,
my trials failed again. So what do you want to see? My proxy part for nginx?

In my environment I use this configuration for my nginx now.

The only statements I have changed that I access my content server via port 443 than 9980 (which is not really necessary).
I hope you are successful too.

I have attached a conf file for nginx which worked in my environment for a content editor vmware.

Hi Diethmar,

we tried to implement this configuration, but so far failed. The problem seems to be not the ngnix configuration but Filr: Filr does not use the "external" URL for ce over nginx but the internal one. The only access we see in ngnix's log is when configuring Content Editor in Filr, when pressing "Test connection" (Success) and "OK".

How did you make sure that Filr uses the reverse proxy? Are there any additional steps to do?

Thanks,

Mirko
