--- layout: post title: Jenkins and Nginx --- I was having a bit of trouble getting Jenkins running behind nginx without that pesky [_it appears that your reverse proxy set up is broken_][1] error message. As it turns out, the solution is simple: Lose the trailing slash in the `proxy_pass` statement. ``` proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/; # bad proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080; # good ``` Thanks to [this comment][2] for this simple fix.
