"Connection Refused" with nginx as reverse proxy

[Radha Venkatesh (radvenka)]

I have set up nginx as a reverse proxy with this configuration


worker_processes  1;

pid       /run/nginx.pid;


events {

  worker_connections  4096;

}


http {

  include    /etc/nginx/default.d/proxy.conf;


  default_type application/octet-stream;



  sendfile     on;

  tcp_nopush   on;

  server_names_hash_bucket_size 128;


  server {

    listen       127.107.138.162:8080;

    server_name _;


    access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;

    error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;


    access_log on;


    # Load configuration files for the default server block.

    include /etc/nginx/default.d/*.conf;


    location / {

      proxy_pass      http://127.0.0.1:8080;

    }


    location /rhesos-server {

        proxy_pass http://10.154.181.43:8080/rhesos-server/rhesos/api/v1/ping;

    }


    location /rhesos {

        proxy_pass http://10.154.181.43:8080/rhesos-server/rhesos/api/v1/ping;

    }

 }


}

However, when I use the curl command to send a request using the proxy like this, I see a "Connection Refused"


curl -v -x 'http://<username>:<password>@128.107.138.162:8080' http://10.154.181.43:8080/rhesos-server/rhesos/api/v1/ping

curl: (7) Failed connect to 10.154.181.43:8080; Connection refused

Whereas when I try this without the proxy, it succeeds ..


curl -v http://10.154.181.43:8080/rhesos-server/rhesos/api/v1/ping

Can someone tell what is wrong in my configuration?


Thanks,

Radha.
