nginx weird problem
| Posted by Yasmin_Hosticulture, 05-08-2012, 03:56 AM |
| After installing nginx, we have noticed that the visitor's IP addresses are recorded as server's own IP.
To explain it, suppose you log in to the forum located on the same server, the forum admins will be able to see your IP. However, the IP would be shown as the server's OWN IP instead of the actual visitor's IP.
We have had all the clients complaining the same which shows that this aint the problem with the forum script.
Any clue how to fix it?

| I think you need to add additional header information like x-real-ip and x-forwarded-for into your nginx vhost config.

| Because this a new profile i cannot send you a link to the how to.
But if you go to google and search on the follow keyword;
nginx forward ip header
You will find some articles about it.

| Yes I did find some articles, but they weren't very clear for a non-expert.
