Symptoms

• Unable to access Plesk with login link generated by plesk login after Plesk update to release version 18.0.61

  location / {
  proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8880;
  proxy_redirect http://$host:8880 $scheme://$host; <====================
  proxy_set_header Host $host;
  proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
  access_log off;
  gzip on;
  gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript application/javascript;
  }
