yes, yes, I did a wrong paste of an older config, but even with the
below one, it still doesn't work for me, which has my head scratching

server {
listen *:8080 default_server;
server_name _;
rewrite ^ http://xxx.xxx.xxx:8080$request_uri? permanent;
}

server {
server_name xxx.xxx.xxx;
listen *:8080 rcvbuf=64k backlog=128;
limit_conn gulag 5;
charset utf-8;
access_log /var/log/nginx/xxx.access.log;
root /srv/www/htdocs/xxx.xxx.xxx;
location / {
index index.php;
}
