Problems with Ghost in one VPS and NGINX server in other

Developer help

Hi,

I have a Ghost setup with DigitalOcean one-click app, I have in another box my NGINX server (mysite. com) already running, I want to have mysite .com/blog point to the Ghost server.

The problem is when I configure the URL of Ghost (ghost config url) to be https ://mysite(.)com/blog it stops working, what I really want to achieve is:

  1. Ghost accessible at http: //ghost-vps-ip
  2. mysite.com points at Existing box with NGINX
  3. Existing box with NGINX has rule to forward /blog/* to http:// ghost-vps-ip
  4. http:// ghost-vps-ip should render HTML with mysite(.)com instead of http: //ghost-vps-ip

So I think what’s really the problem is that Ghost does not have a setting to change the HTML rendered URL, instead when I set the URL it seems to expect the request to come directly from the set host?

This is how the blog currently errors https://64.225.4.87/blog/.

The main problem seems to do with SSL, if I set the URL to http: //mysite.com/blog (instead if https) it works, but then it uses http instead of https all over the place.
