Nginx as proxy?

I am trying to figure out how to use Nginx as proxy. I tried the following and get 502 Bad Gateway.

I changed Http port of SBBS to 8088.

server {
server_name galaxybbs.net www.galaxybbs.net;

listen 11235 ssl;
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_pass http://myprivateipofmachine:1213;
}

location ^~ /webbbs {
try_files $uri @app;
}
location @app {
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_pass http://http://myprivateipofmachine:8088;
proxy_redirect off;
rewrite /webbbs(.*) /$1 break;
}
# api call seems to be absolute, so you must alias /api/ url's
location /api/ {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_pass http://http://myprivateipofmachine/api/;
