Describe the bug
I have created a working Host. When I added a very specific location (down to the PHP page level e.g. /subfolder/page.php ) for a sub URI to go to a different backend container I am able to get locations to work, but when I create a generic location (at the /subfolder/ level), it is not able to work. As I am only making a small change, I am assuming its a bug.

Nginx Proxy Manager Version

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create two backends, and get NPM to point to the first.
2. Create a location in the host

4. Hit your site.com/othercontainer/test.php and it works
5. Then, Change the location to be generic
6.

7. Now I can no longer get to site.com/othercontainer/test.php
8. I am getting a 404 Not Found which I believe is coming from site.com

Expected behavior
I would have expected them to hit the same content

Screenshots
As attached in description

Operating System
Using NPM within Portainer on Docker Swarm, on CentOS hosts. All are latest versions.

Additional context
None

Unfortunately locations have been a little broken for a few versions, unfortunately all attempts to mitigate the problem have resulted in other issues. #1578 reverted all the changes related to that hopefully resulting in locations working properly again. But you'll have to wait until a new release is published.

thanks for this. Would it be possible to manually do it in this area instead?

(I come from HAProxy, this is my first dip into NGINX, so a little green)

Yes you can, by adding something like this:

location /app/ {
    proxy_pass      http://othercontainer/;
}

[zane-shus]

location /app/ {
    proxy_pass      http://othercontainer/;
}

your a champion, thank you! Worked perfect.

Great to hear! Then I'll close this for now. Be on the lookout for new releases, so you could potentially change back to the built in locations. Or leave it in the advanced config. Your choice ;)
