Converting subdomain to path component without redirect ?

[henrique matias]

My first try was to change my location / { } to proxy pass to another
language, so i could try "the backend" as you said, but it actually didn't
work, i got:

[emerg] "proxy_pass" cannot have URI part in location given by regular
expression, or inside named location, or inside "if" statement, or inside
"limit_except" block in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:79

my nginx version is 1.3.15.

will keep trying, if someone knows how to work this around, would be cool,
i guess this happens quite often :P
