nginx + apache2 + wordpress configuration ?

Question

I am trying to replicate the way WF handle wordpress installs on my own server: nginx front end an apache2 vhost running wordpress at the back, and route only a sub directory link to the wordpress instance, without success. Anyone know how to do this?

e.g.: mysite.com -> some other apache vhost mysite.com/blog -> a apache vhost running wordpress at the "root directory"

webfaction magically remove the "/blog/" to and from the vhost. I can't get that to work with my own config?

(Why am I doing this? I need to setup a virtual server running something similar to my other webfaction apps on the shared plans).

Thanks! P.K.

Here's what out configuration looks like to serve an app named 'wp3' for 'username' on 'domain.com/blog':

Front-end nginx:

server {
    listen       174.121.79.152:80;
    server_tokens off;

    proxy_set_header  Host             $host;
    proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-For  $remote_addr;

    server_name  domain.com;

    location /blog/ {
        proxy_pass  http://localhost:2480;
    }

    location = /blog {
        proxy_pass  http://localhost:2480;
    }

    access_log  /home/username/logs/frontend/access_wpsite.log combined;
    error_log   /home/username/logs/frontend/error_wpsite.log info;
}

Back-end Apache on port 2480:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:2480>

Hope that helps!
