proxy_pass isn't working when SELinux is enabled, why?

Question

I\'m having an application listening on port 8081 and Nginx running on port 8080. The proxy pass statement looks like:

$ cat /var/etc/opt/lj/output/services/abc.         


        

Answer 1

Worth noting for beginners in SELinux that if your proxied service is running on 8080, you can use the command below without compiling a policy.

$ sudo setsebool httpd_can_network_connect 1 -P
