Proper coding of location for php and proxy_pass

[forumacct]

Hello All,

What is the correct coding of location section(s) for 2 Raspberry with
nginx.

RPI1 is the main webpage and also is going to host owncloud (which uses
https and php)
RPI2 is a weather station using plain http html and some php.

To catch requests to RPI2 I can use a text pattern in the URL. 'rpi'
Now my problem is that the RPI2 has some php and the RPI1 with owncloud has
php.

I have tried 2 location segments but it seems the php always wins.

What is the correct way to code this?

Here's a tuned down version of the default config that shows the problem.
Just now I have commented out the php. This way 'owncloud is disabled but
all URLs with 'rpi' (including those with php) are send to RPI2.



server {
	listen   8000; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
	#listen   [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6

	root /media/usbstick/nginx/www;
	index index.php index.html index.htm;

	# Make site accessible from http://localhost/
	server_name rpi3;

	location / {
		# First attempt to serve request as file, then
		# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
		try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
		# Uncomment to enable naxsi on this location
		# include /etc/nginx/naxsi.rules
                ssi on;
	}

        # Pass /rpi Weather station to RPI1
        location /rpi {
                proxy_pass http://192.168.11.170:80;
        }

	# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
	#
        #location ~ \.php$ {
            #fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
            ##fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
            #fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
            #fastcgi_index index.php;
            #include fastcgi_params;
        #}
}



Here is a version of the full config which does not work for the weather
station.


upstream php-handler {
server 127.0.0.1:9000;
#server unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
}

server {
listen 8000;
#server_name localhost;
server_name xxxxxxx.dyndns.ws;
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;  # enforce https
}

server {
listen 443 ssl;
#server_name localhost;
server_name xxxxxxx.dyndns.ws;
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains";

ssl_certificate     /etc/letsencrypt/live/xxxxxxx.dyndns.ws/cert.pem;

                access_log off;
}

        # Pass /rpi Weather station to RPI1
        location /rpi {
                proxy_pass http://192.168.11.170:80;
        }

}



Thanks for helping,
