Perhaps the new try_file directive and an internal backend are what you need. I'm still in 0.6.x land on my production boxes, but I think it is something like this (from igor's docs):<br><pre>location / {<br> try_files /system/maintenance.html<br>
$uri $uri/index.html $uri.html<br> @mongrel;<br>}<br><br>location @mongrel {<br> proxy_pass <a href="http://mongrel">http://mongrel</a>;<br>}<br></pre>This will try the given $uri, index.html as subdirectory, the uri as HTML file, and finally resolve to the @mongrel backend. If you are using 0.6.x or if that doesn't work, you can always use the old school 404 redirector like so:<br>
<br><pre>location / {<br> error_page 404 = @mongrel;<br>}<br><br>location @mongrel {<br> proxy_pass <a href="http://mongrel">http://mongrel</a>;<br>}<br></pre><br>The rest of the magic is up to you (I think you have it anyway).<br>

Let me try this again, more tersely:<br>
<br>
Why does this (pared down) config...<br>
<a href="http://pastie.org/395896" target="_blank">http://pastie.org/395896</a><br>
...give me a 404 when I use a URL like...<br>
<a href="http://localhost/ObjJob/foo" target="_blank">http://localhost/ObjJob/foo</a><br>
...instead of proxying to port 9901 as desired?<br>
<br>
What's the right way to set up a virtual directory like this?<br>
<br>
The only 'fix' I've found so far is to comment out lines 29 and 32, causing all static files to be proxied and served by the proxy app instead.<br>
