I’m trying to get RC to work with NGINX as a reverse proxy (subfolder). I want RC to be accessed from [mydomain.com/rocketchat](http://mydomain.com/rocketchat), but I am unable to make progress. I either get a white page back or currently RC is stuck at the loading screen.

NGINX Configuration:  
#–START ROCKETCHAT CONFIG–  
location /rocketchat {  
proxy\_pass [http://127.0.0.1:3001/rocketchat;](http://127.0.0.1:3001/rocketchat;)  
proxy\_http\_version 1.1;  
proxy\_set\_header Upgrade $http\_upgrade;  
proxy\_set\_header Connection “upgrade”;  
proxy\_set\_header Host $http\_host;  
proxy\_set\_header X-Real-IP $remote\_addr;  
proxy\_set\_header X-Forward-For $proxy\_add\_x\_forwarded\_for;  
proxy\_set\_header X-Forward-Proto http;  
proxy\_set\_header X-Nginx-Proxy true;  
proxy\_redirect off;  
}  
#–END ROCKETCHAT CONFIG–

I have properly set the ROOT URL properly https + domain + /rocketchat (sorry, cant post more than two links :P)  
All help is appreciated

change your proxy\_pass statement to  
`proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3001;`
