i then get this error:

Restarting nginx: [emerg]: "proxy_pass" may not have URI part in
location given by regular expression, or inside named location, or
inside the "if" statement, or inside the "limit_except" block in
/ah/sites/ops/conf/nginx.conf:38

config is this:

    location /
    {
        index index.html index.htm;
        try_files $uri $uri/ @seaside;
        error_page 403 = @seaside;
    }

    location @seaside
    {
        proxy_pass http://gemstone/admin;
    }

apparently adding admin there isnt an option.
