Welcome to nginx!

If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required.

For online documentation and support please refer to nginx.org.
Commercial support is available at nginx.com.

Thank you for using nginx.

Hi @staffbot office,

welcome to the community.

I just removed your IP, as this is a public forum and you probably do not want to publish it to the public.

You tried to connect on port 8080, where obviously your nginx is listening.

The nginx configuration you posted is listening on port 443. So you might try if you can reach your Jira on that port.

And if you did not anonymize the server name for posting it here, you should change that to the correct server name.

Could you help me understand where I need to fix it ? 

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

From that nginx config, I would say you need to visit https://jira.mycompany.com to see Jira.

[staffbot office]

https://jira.mycompany.com - it is not real 

You mean what I need to use real domain for checking Jira ?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Yes, replace jira.mycompany.com with whatever you have on the "server" line in your nginx settings.  Note that you will need to have set up that url in your DNS too.

I try to do it after getting right dnsname from my provider.

Thanks a lot. I will come back soon

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- hello, 

1\ I changed parametr on 

/etc/nginx/sites-available/jira

proxy_pass http://localhost:8080 to my "IP":8080 

2\ I put web link "IP":8080 and get next link with error (Page not found) 
http://IP:8080/startup.jsp?returnTo=%2Fdefault.jsp

Could you please help me.

What have you set in the connector in Jira (well, Tomcat) - the server.xml in <jira install>/conf has a line in it that includes "context" - what have you got in the active connector?

Also, try dropping the 8080 - one of the reasons for using a proxy is to avoid having to use the port - exposing Jira on just the ip address of the proxy in your case.

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- 

I have it: 

<Connector port="8080" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" connectionTimeout="20000" enableLookups="false"
maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" protocol="HTTP/1.1" useBodyEncodingForURI="true" redirectPort="8443"
acceptCount="100" disableUploadTimeout="true" bindOnInit="false" proxyName="jira.mycompany.com" proxyPort="443" s$

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Ok, that's good.  Now drop the 8080 for the "outside" of the proxy, as you don't need it, just go to http://IP  as that's what your proxy will be set to serve.  (I'm assuming the s$ on the end is a miskey)
