Configure WSO2 API Manager 1.8.0 with reverse proxy (with proxy context path)

Remove current installation of Nginx
sudo apt-get purge nginx nginx-common nginx-full

Install Nginx
sudo apt-get install nginx

Edit configurations
sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

Create ssl certificates and copy then to ssl folder.
sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /etc/nginx/ssl/nginx.key -out /etc/nginx/ssl/nginx.crt

 Sample configuration:

server {

       listen 443;
       ssl on;
       ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/nginx.crt;
       ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/nginx.key;
       location /apimanager/carbon {
           index index.html;
           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_pass https://localhost:9443/carbon/;
           proxy_redirect  https://localhost:9443/carbon/  https://localhost/apimanager/carbon/;
           proxy_cookie_path / /apimanager/carbon/;
       }
       location /apimanager/publisher/registry {
           index index.html;
           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_pass https://localhost:9443/registry;
           proxy_redirect  https://localhost:9443/registry  https://localhost/apimanager/publisher/registry;
           proxy_cookie_path /registry /apimanager/publisher/registry;
       }
      location /apimanager/publisher {
          index index.html;
           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_pass https://localhost:9443/publisher;
           proxy_redirect  https://localhost:9443/publisher  https://localhost/apimanager/publisher;
           proxy_cookie_path /publisher /apimanager/publisher;
      }
      location /apimanager/store {
           index index.html;
           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_pass https://localhost:9443/store;
           proxy_redirect https://localhost:9443/store https://localhost/apimanager/store;
           proxy_cookie_path /store /apimanager/store;
       }
}

To stop start us following commands

sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx stop

API Manager configurations

Add following API Manager configurations:

In API store edit wso2am-1.8.0/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/store/site/conf/site.json  file and add following.

  "reverseProxy" : {
       "enabled" : true,
       "host" : "localhost",
       "context":"/apimanager/store"
   }


In API publisher edit wso2am-1.8.0/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/publisher/site/conf/site.json  file and add following.

   "reverseProxy" : {
       "enabled" : true,   
       "host" : "localhost",
       "context":"/apimanager/publisher",
   }


Edit /repository/conf/carbon.xml and update following properties.

<HostName>localhost</HostName>
<MgtHostName>localhost</MgtHostName>

Then start API Manager.
Server URLs would be something like this
