Topic: reverse proxy / apache 2.4

[ballexaa]

Hi,

I'm bothering with an reverseproxy dilema:

I have following arhitecture:


Apache1 2.4 -> WLS 12
|->Apache2 2.4-> GF3

Apache1 directs /AAA to WLS 12 and /aaa to Aapche2 -> GF3.

Unix/Java

I set ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse



<proxypass url="https://server-url/aaa/" path="/aaa/"/>



<proxypassreverse url="https://server-url/aaa/" path="/aaa/"/>



but it doesn't work only with those configs.

What else do i need to configure? Do you know any arhitecture+configs docs/tools?


Thank you in advance!

See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass


You have "url=..."and "path=..", that are no options in the above docu.

No, they are fine, i am not modifying the httpd.conf directly, i use this staging concept, where i complete one xml file and the httpd.conf file is automatically generated. In httpd.conf file looks right:

ProxyPass /aaa/ https://server-url/aaa/

ProxyPassReverse /aaa/ https://server-url/aaa/

Do not understand.

What happens ?

[ballexaa]

When i open the window (that should call Apache2-> GF server) i get 'This project didn't deploy yet', but there is no issue on this apache2-> gf part, because this part is also used by other apaches 2.0.

I tried a trick: i put the reverse the other way back:

ProxyPassReverse https://server-url/aaa/ /aaa/

If i already have the /AAA application opened in the browser+F5 -> /aaa also opens and works fine.
But if i wish to open /AAA appl in a new IE window, i get HTTP 404 Not found (after login).

I think the reverse it's correctly configured (ProxyPassReverse /aaa/ https://server-url/aaa/ ) but i don't figure out what other forwarding rules/missing configs can cause this issue.

Change your config to ( aka remove the slash at the end)

[ballexaa]

No Change...

I also get this error in the logs:

Error during SSL Handshake with remote server

and

pass request body failed

[James Blond]

Then you may try adding the following

[ballexaa]

still doesn't solve the reverse...it's not firewall, it's not certificate... i don't know what it is

[James Blond]

[ballexaa]

By login in /AAA gets overwriten with /aaa:

302 HTTPS /AAA/webdesign/login.jsp
404 HTTPS /aaa/webdesign/home.jsp ->which does not exist

or 502 HTTPS /aaa/webdesign/home.jsp

Pls post your config.
The complete vhost-section and what kind of modules you are using...

Thanks!

mod note: moved config to: http://pastebin.com/Bbxf2F2K

First of all with your configuration you are proxying not reverseproxying!

For reverseproxying there's an entry missing: ProxyRequests Off
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxyrequests

And then i would place it in a vhost section.
