Proxy subdomain root to a different server url

[Vahan Yerkanian]

Hi,

I need to alias a subdomain to contents of an url, e.g. I need http://abcd.domain.com/ to proxy contents of http://www.domain.com/path1/path2/xyz

All my attempts with proxy_pass resulted in 301 to http://abcd.domain.com/path1/path2/xyz and a 404 with strange duplicate uri /path1/path2/xyzpath1/path2/xyz

        server {
                listen          11.22.33.44:80;
                server_name     abcd.domain.com;

                location / {
                        proxy_pass http://www.domain.com/path1/path2/xyz;
                }
	}

I'm clearly missing something, please help!
