As I understand it, your nginx conf says (basically)

  location / {
    proxy_pass http://backend29;
  }

so every request to nginx gets sent to the backend server. nginx does
not know or care about files or folders; it proxy_pass:es all requests.

So the 404 comes from the backend server, because the app causes the
browser to ask for /agregareditar and not for /pais/agregareditar.

My guess is that your browser's first request is for "/pais",
and that returns something from the backend that says "ask for
agregareditar". And the browser correctly resolves "/pais" +
"agregareditar" to "/agregareditar". But that is not what you want.

My guess is that if your browser's first request is for "/pais/" (with
a / at the end), then what is returned from the backend will be the
same; but now the browser will resolve "/pais/" + "agregareditar" to
"/pais/agregareditar", which (hopefully) is what you want.

If that does work -- if you start by asking for "/pais/" and everything
works as you want it to -- then you can tell nginx to intercept the first
request for "/pais", and tell the browser to instead ask for "/pais/". And
then things might work.

You can tell nginx to do that one-interception by putting

  location = /pais { return 301 /pais/; }

in the same file as your main config, just before the

  location / {

line that you showed.

If your application does *not* work when you start by requesting "/pais/",
then this change to nginx will not fix things for you.

Right now, I see no evidence of a problem in the nginx config; only in
the backend application.

Maybe some evidence will appear, if there is still a problem.

Good luck with it,
