title: Wordpress redirect loop on site root. Nginx proxy apache
body: <p>I'm setting up Nginx as a proxy to apache2 serving a Wordpress installation. Issue is that on the root url appsrd.devmbs.com im getting a redirect loop. When I hit the server I see the following in the logs like 12-15 times. </p>
  
  <pre><code>127.0.0.1 - - [03/Sep/2012:12:29:25 +0000] "GET /index.php HTTP/1.0" 301 529 "http://appsrd.devmbs.com/wp-admin/options-general.php" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_0) AppleWebKit/537.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/21.0.1180.89 Safari/537.1"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the /wp-admin works well. No redirect issue. I tried deleting the database, and while the db wasn't available the root displayed a msg of Error establishing a database connection which is fine since this is the expected behavior but there was no redirect issue. Then I created the DB again and ran the wordpress setup, and when everything is done, the redirect issue comes back.</p>
  
  <p>Beloe my nginx server conf:</p>
  
  <pre><code>server {
          listen       80 default_server;
          server_name  appsrd.devmbs.com;
          root /home/ubuntu/projecs/APPS-RD;
          #charset koi8-r;
  
          #access_log  logs/host.access.log  main;
  
          location / {
              root   /home/ubuntu/projects/APPS-RD;
              index  index.html index.htm index.php;
          }
  
          error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
          location = /50x.html {
              root   html;
          }
  
          location ~ \.php$ {
          proxy_pass   http://127.0.0.1:3000;
          proxy_buffering on;
          proxy_buffers 12 12k;
          proxy_set_header Host $host;
          }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The url is appsrd.devmbs.com, appsrd.devmbs.com/wp-admin works fine.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone have a clue what might be happening?</p>
