Apologies if this is very basic.
I’m struggling to get my graylog running corectly with nginx proxy.
I want to access graylog from my headless server.
My setup is as follow:
graylog server.conf
rest\_listen\_uri =127.0.0.1:9000/api/
web\_listen\_uri =127.0.0.1:9000/
HTTP included as I can’t post it.
My nginx setup is exactly as the guide:
web\_interface.html#webif-connecting-to-server
I’m receiving a error were once graylog opens, it gives an issue that can’t access [http://127.0.0.1/api/](http://127.0.0.1/api/)

you might have only one setting that is not working correctly
```auto
server
{
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
server_name graylog.example.org;
location / {
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Graylog-Server-URL http://$server_name/api;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9000;
}
}
```
the above configuration need to be on the Graylog server where the NGINX is running too. The `server_name` need to be set to the FQDN and if you connect to an IP and not the Hostname you need to adjust the line with `X-Graylog-Server-URL` and remove `$server_name` and place the IP in that.

Thank you so much JAN!! It works!
I’ve changed the X-Graylog-Server-URL to my local IP and we are in business!
