6.2.X redirect on alternate port; Solution included; Manual needs update

I’ve linked a previous post with details of the problem at the bottom of this post. The Seafile manual needs to be updated with the following solution.

Summary of issue:
Since the release of 6.2.X, the WebUI redirects (to port 80) when using an alternate port number in NGinx.

Solution:

In the Nginx config file for the site, the solution is to replace this line:

proxy_set_header Host $host;

with this line:

proxy_set_header Host $host:$server_port;

Requesting that the manual be updated with this information.

You can change it yourself and open a pull request on GitHub.

Ah… Cool… I did not know that. :slight_smile: Will take care of it later today. Can you provide the link to the github?

Ok, I found Seafile on github. Do I just need to issue a pull request with my proposed changes to the manual, or is there something else I need to do?

You got it, it is quite easy.
