Proxy Pass Redirect Problem

[david]

Not sure if this is my configuration causing this symptom or openresty.

Here is whats happening.

If I try to access the store "admin"
via: http://mysite.com/admin

I am getting proxy redirects sent to my browser and seeing 
127.0.0.1:8000/admin in my address bar.

Not exactly the result I was looking for.

Any pointers where I should look?

Running ngx_openresty/1.4.3.6

Here is my config

         location / {
             root  html;
             index index.php index.html index.htm;
             try_files $uri @store;
         }
         location @wsgi {
                 include uwsgi_params;
                 uwsgi_pass unix://tmp/spften.sock;
         }

         location @store {
                 include uwsgi_params;
                 proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000$uri;
                 proxy_intercept_errors on;
                 #recursive_error_pages on;
                 error_page 404, 502 = @wsgi;
         }

Thanks in advance for any pointers.
