API gateway not connecting with reverse proxy WSO2 - wso2

Question

I am having some challenges trying to get a reverse proxy working with the API gateway. I have configured all the UI components and things are working well with the reverse proxy. I have configured the API locally and it works...but I can't find any documentation on setting up a gateway proxy. I've tried creating several gateway environments using a number of configuration and the best I can get is
Message dispatched to the main sequence. Invalid URL.
Anybody successfully implemented this? I want the proxy endpoint to be on 443 to avoid any port modifications. Whenever I publish the API it wants to use 8280 on the backend...just not sure what to do and there are no examples or docs anywhere I can find.
Thanks for your help.

What are you using as a reverse proxy? is it NGINX?
If you are using NGINX, you have to configure Nginx.conf as follows to expose API gateway.
upstream sslgw.am.wso2.com {
server 127.0.0.1:8243;
server 127.0.0.1:8244;
#ip_hash;
}
server {
listen 443;
server_name gw.am.wso2.com;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port 443;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /usr/local/Cellar/nginx/1.17.7/ssl/nginxLab.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /usr/local/Cellar/nginx/1.17.7/ssl/nginxLb.key;
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_read_timeout 5m;
proxy_send_timeout 5m;
proxy_pass https://sslgw.am.wso2.com;
}
#access_log /usr/local/Cellar/nginx/1.17.7/log/gw/https/access.log;
#error_log /usr/local/Cellar/nginx/1.17.7/log/gw/https/error.log;
}
