Nginx configuration for load balancer

Create a conf file under location /etc/nginx/conf.d with any name and extension .conf :


server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  <server>;

    location /ctx01 {
        proxy_pass     http://host:port/ctx01/;
    }

    location /ctx02 {
        proxy_pass     http://host:port/ctx02/;
    }

    location / {
                root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
                index  index.html;
        }
}


This will redirect the request with /ctx01 to  http://host:port/ctx01.
Request with /ctx02 to  http://host:port/ctx02.

For e.g.  http://<server>:80/ctx01 will redirect to http://host:port/ctx01


If you want to have a home page, configure index.html under /usr/share/nginx/html.
