GET requests returning 404

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

We are using Play for the backend and using NGinx to serve requests for
static files from local.

Below is the config that we are using

upstream backend {
server x.x.x.x:9000;
}

server {
listen 0.0.0.0:8082;
server_name localhost;

location /client {
   root /static;
   expires off;
   sendfile  off;
}

location / {
  proxy_set_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
  proxy_set_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' 'true';
  proxy_set_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers'

‘X-Requested-With,Accept,Content-Type, Origin’;
proxy_set_header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Methods’ ‘GET, POST,
OPTIONS,
PUT, DELETE, HEAD’;

  proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
  proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
  proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;

  proxy_pass http://backend;
  proxy_redirect off;
}

}

Some requests like “GET /api/alerts” returns 404

Now here is the wierd part. When I update the configuration like below,
basically copying the same config for this specific uri path, I get 200
OK
back

upstream backend {
server x.x.x.x:9000;
}

server {
listen 0.0.0.0:8082;
server_name localhost;

location /client {
   root /static;
   expires off;
   sendfile  off;
}

location /api {
proxy_set_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
proxy_set_header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Credentials’ ‘true’;
proxy_set_header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Headers’
‘X-Requested-With,Accept,Content-Type, Origin’;
proxy_set_header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Methods’ ‘GET, POST,
OPTIONS,
PUT, DELETE, HEAD’;

  proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
  proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
  proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;

  proxy_pass http://backend;
  proxy_redirect off;
}

location / {
  proxy_set_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
  proxy_set_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' 'true';
  proxy_set_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers'

‘X-Requested-With,Accept,Content-Type, Origin’;
proxy_set_header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Methods’ ‘GET, POST,
OPTIONS,
PUT, DELETE, HEAD’;

  proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
  proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
  proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;

  proxy_pass http://backend;
  proxy_redirect off;
}

}

what could be the issue?
