uri_for includes port number on redirects

Question

I'm attempting to implement a Catalyst application using nginx as a frontend web proxy for static files, and using Starman for my backend webserver. (I could use Apache & FastCGI and it works just fine, but I'd really like to get the whole PSGI / Plack and Starman thing ironed out)

Starman starts up okay and can handle my requests just fine on

http://localhost:5000

. When I fire up nginx to use as my front-end proxy, my urls become ugly and mangle with the port number (5000) whenever or wherever I use the

$c->uri_for

method.

Example :



$c->uri_for("/login")

becomes

http://myapp.example.com:5000/login 

rather than

http://myapp.example.com/login

I have some logs being created so I can see what

X-Forwarded-Host

and

X-Forwarded-For

are set as. For normal requests, there are values set (coming from nginx), but whenever the

$c->uri_for

method is used, those values do not exist.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Am I missing something else in my configuration of either nginx or my Catalyst conf?

Thanks!

nginx config :



server {

        listen        80;

        server_name   myapp.example.com;



        location /static {

            root /data/users/MyApp/root;

            expires 30d;

        }



        location / {

            proxy_set_header Host $host;

            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;

            proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;

            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;



            proxy_pass http://localhost:5000/;

        }

    }

Event though this will be ran on the same physical server, in MyApp config I have set :



MyApp->config(using_frontend_proxy => 1)

Versions :



Catalyst : 5.80024

nginx : 0.7.67

Plack : 0.9942

Starman : 0.2006

My problem was in my myapp.psgi file.

from Catalyst::Engine::PSGI and look at Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxy:

...
use Plack::Builder;
use MyApp;

MyApp->setup_engine('PSGI');
my $app = sub { MyApp->run(@_) };

builder {
 enable_if { $_[0]->{REMOTE_ADDR} eq '127.0.0.1' } 
        "Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxy";
 $app;
};
