The nginx config follows its own logic, which may not match your previous<br>
experiences. When you understand that, you'll have a much better chance<br>
of knowing the configuration you are looking for.<br>

One important feature is that one request is handled in one<br>
location. Another is that one http request does not necessarily correspond<br>
to one nginx request.<br>
<br>
In this case...<br>
<br>
you make the request for /demoX, and the best-match location is "location<br>
/demo", and so that is the one that is used.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
> location /demo {<br>

<br>
</div>Once that happens, you are using the new internal-to-nginx request<br>
"/upvc", so a new choice for best-match location happens, and the rest<br>
of this location{} block is not relevant.<br>

<br>
Aside: the fastcgi_params file will typically have content relevant for<br>
when fastcgi_pass is used, not for when proxy_pass is used.<br>
<br>
So, the http request for /demoX leads to the nginx request for /upvc,<br>
which matches this location:<br>
<div class="im"><br>
> location /upvc {<br>
> alias /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/demo;<br>
> index demo3.jsp;<br>
> expires 1m;<br>
<br>
</div>And here, you say "serve it from the filesystem", so that's what it does.<br>
<br>
(I suspect that you actually get a http redirect to /upvc/, which then<br>
returns the content of /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/demo/demo3.jsp. Using<br>
"curl" as the browser tends to make clear what is happening.)<br></blockquote><div class="im"><br>

Perhaps putting the proxy_pass in the "location /upvc" block will work? Or<br>

If you can describe what behaviour you want, then possibly the nginx<br>
