Gitea version (or commit ref): 1.1.0
Operating system: Rasbian
Database (use [x]):
- PostgreSQL
- MySQL
- MSSQL
- SQLite
Can you reproduce the bug at https://try.gitea.io:
- Yes (provide example URL)
- No
- Not relevant

I'm using nginx as a reverse proxy for Gitea and am attempting to migrate from Gogs (ended up doing a fresh install anyway) and am having issues with the redirect.

I want to host Gitea on pyrosoftsolutions.co.uk/gitea. However, when I access this address for the first time it redirects to pyrosoftsolutions.co.uk/install rather than pyrosoftsolutions.co.uk/gitea/install. Any ideas on what's going on?

Here's the relevant segment of the nginx.conf:

server {
listen 80 default_server;
# listen [::]:80;
return 301 https://$http_host$request_uri;
server_name pyrosoftsolutions.co.uk;
rewrite ^/gitea/(.*)/$1 break;
rewrite ^/gitea$/$1 break;
}

server {
listen 443 ssl default_server;
# listen [::]:443;

server_name pyrosoftsolutions.co.uk;

    proxy_set_header        Host $http_host;
    proxy_read_timeout      90;
    proxy_redirect  http://localhost:3000/ https://$http_host$request_uri/;
}

    index index.html index.php;
    }

    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?.php)(/.*)$;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;

    include fastcgi_params;
}
}

I've fixed the issue, I'd just forgotten to set ROOT_URL in the Custom Conf.
