Hi. I was able to successfully install and run discourse on my Linux machine with nginx as ssl terminator and with proxy\_pass directive.

The problem is, I was able to do it just as `discourse.example.com` and I’m trying to achieve it to work as `example.com/discourse`. I’ve tried changing DISCOURSE\_HOSTNAME and putting it straight there, but the result is a standard ‘ops, page not found’ site without any css formatting. I’ve tried to grep soure and documentation in search for ‘baseurl’ directive (as it’s a common thing to name it this way in other apps) but no luck.

Is it even possible? If so, please point me to any link describing how to do it.
