NGINX/JENKINS: It appears that your reverse proxy set up is broken

Question

I've tried at least a half a donzen examples on how to get NGINX working with Jenkins. My most recent NGINX configuration is based on the following example:

https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Running+Jenkins+behind+Nginx

No mater what I try, Jenkins keeps saying It appears that your reverse proxy set up is broken. I'm hoping someone can spot what is wrong as I have spent hours trying to solve this to no avail.

Thanks!

This is not a NGINX problem.

Inside Jenkins you need to configure the Jenkins URL. If it is not set correctly you will get the error you observed.
Check Jenkins -> Manage Jenkins -> Configure System => Jenkins URL.
