Hi,

I tried to configure OAUTH for my drone and after doing so I wanted to authenticate it.  
Instead of refering to [https://xxx/gitea/login/oauth/grant](https://xxx/gitea/login/oauth/grant) I was to referred to [https://xxx/login/oauth/grant](https://xxx/login/oauth/grant).

I configured the reverse proxy for nginx according to the documentation.  
I am currently using gitea 1.9.3.

I solved it by buying my own domain and creating sub-domains for my services. This problem does not occur any longer with the current setup.
