Nginx unable to serve the node.js POST requests

问题

I've a VM Ubuntu15.04 server and I've configured nginx to listen requests on port 80 and forward them to respective applications on different ports. I have a simple node.js service running over port 3000 which has one GET and POST service. I have started it by using PM2 and added a proxy_pass to localhost:3000/ in my nginx default conf. The problem is when i try to use a GET request it is working fine but in case of POST it is showing 404 error. I've tried to use the POST service through postman client.

This is my default conf file of nginx

Any reference, tutorial, suggestions or solutions please let me know how to do it.

Using try_files and proxy_pass in the same location block is probably not going to work.

If you want nginx to test for the presence of a static file and proxy everything else, use a named location:

root /path/to/root;
location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ @proxy;
}
location @proxy {
    proxy_pass ...;
    ...
}

Test the configuration using nginx -t as your question appears to be missing a closing }.

See this document for details.

It's impossible to tell you what's wrong with your code if you didn't include even a single line of your Node program that your question is about.

Also "404 error" is not enough to know what's wrong because nginx shows a different error message than Express and knowing the exact message would let us know where the error originated.

What you should do is first to make sure that both your GET and POST handlers are working correctly by using:

curl -v http://localhost:3000/your/get/path

and:

curl -v -X POST -d 'somedata' http://localhost:3000/your/post/path

from the same host where your app is running.

Then add the nginx proxy, restart nginx to make sure that the config is reloaded, and do the same with port 80. If anything is different then work from there and diagnose the difference.

But if the POST handler doesn't work on localhost:3000 then you first need to fix that.
