I’m a beginner using a reverse proxy or managing technical infrastructure. I have my main app (react + nginx) on a server and I’m trying to install Ghost on a subfolder TinyMentions Blog on the same server as my main app.
Unfortunately, I’m not able to successfully configure Nginx to properly serve my Ghost blog.
When I visit the URL ttps://tinymentions.io/blog I get an error: “HTTP/1.1 404 NOT FOUND”
I have searched this forum, Stack Overflow and all over Google, tried different approaches and unfortunately, I’m still not able to come up with a solution for this problem. Every time I tried a new approach, I restarted nginx with sudo service nginx restart
but with no luck.
I would appreciate any help with this. If I’m not explaining myself correctly and/or need more information, please let me know.

My main app is on https://tinymentions.io/
