Nginx and proxy_pass ip - wordpress

Question

i've got little problem with nginx and proxy_pass on my VPS, the configuration look like this:
server {
listen 8080;
root /var/www/;
index index.php;
location ~ \.php {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass wordpress;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
server {
listen 80;
root /var/www;
index index.html;
location ~ ^/mihal {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
}
location ~ \.php {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass wordpress;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
and every time i've try to get the http://serverdomanin.com/mihal i've been redirected to http://127.0.0.1/mihal...
What should i moderate to corectly use this configuration? (under /mihal/ is wordpress instance).
Many thanks for help!

The redirect is generated by the service running on port 8080, which does not know the name serverdomain.com.
You can rewrite the redirect using the proxy_redirect directive.
Try this:
location ~ ^/mihal {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
proxy_redirect http://localhost/ http://$host/;
proxy_redirect http://localhost:8080/ http://$host/;
}
