Hue Load-balacing File access error

Hi.

I setup Hue load-balancing following instructions on

So i have nginx running and everything seems working fine.

However when I open a file from File Browswer (http://hueserver:8888/filebrowser/view/filepath)

the page gets redirected to http://hue/filebrowswer/view/filepath, and shows page not found error

i think the unexpected "hue" hostname comes from the upstream name on nginx configuration.

Anyone has any idea how to fix this?

Thanks

Ben

got it fixed by adding

proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;

to location /{ }

other workaround is to upgrade to cloudera 5.5 (hue 3.9)
