    Hi,

    I installed haproxy front-end in front of my nginx server hosting wordpress and I can’t access the administration page. HAProxy is in charge of SSL.
    I added these lines in the file wp-config.php

    define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
define('FORCE_SSL_LOGIN', true);
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'] == 'https') {
  $_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';
}

    Here is my HAProxy configuration

    frontend www-http
    bind *:80
    option forwardfor
    option http-server-close
    reqadd X-Forwarded-Proto:\ http

    acl host_mysite hdr(host) -i mysite
    acl path-content-admin path /wp-admin
    redirect scheme https if host_mysite path-content-admin
    use_backend mysite-backend if host_mysite

frontend www-https
    bind *:443 ssl crt /etc/haproxy/certs/mysite.pem
    option forwardfor
    option http-server-close
    http-request set-header X-SSL %[ssl_fc]
    reqadd X-Forwarded-Proto:\ https

    acl host_mysite hdr(host) -i mysite
    use_backend mysite-backend if host_mysite

backend mysite-backend
    redirect scheme https code 301 if !{ ssl_fc }
    server mysite xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 send-proxy check

    Someone can help me, please

    We’re sorry no one has been able to help you so far. Unfortunately, a proxy over nginx is a bit unusual with few of us having any experience with it. I don’t have such experience either. I’m primarily writing to see if you were able to resolve this through other resources. If you were, it’d be great if you could tell us here how you resolved this.

    In case this is still an issue, here’s a few thoughts about something to try. Ensure your siteurl and home options include https:// protocol. Look at and edit the options table items with phpMyAdmin or similar, if you cannot access the normal settings screen.

    Use your browser’s network developer tool to see what requests and redirects are made. Maybe something there will be a clue to what’s going wrong.

    Is there any way to trace proxy and/or nginx processing? If so, some good clues could be found. I know that in Apache, a trace level can be specified, which controls how much detail is logged in the processing of .htaccess rules. This can be very helpful if available.

    Thank you. I solved my problem. I had to add the following lines in the Nginx configuration :

        location /wp-admin/ {
        index index.php
        try_files $uri $uri /index.php?$args;
    }
