Topic: [FIXED] Apache as a reverse proxy from HTTPS to HTTPS

[vasileiosg]

Hello,

I have been struggling a lot with this matter. I have a service running on HTTPS on an internal server and I want to proxy to this server from outside. I thought it would have been as easy as doing the same for HTTP, but it seems I was wrong.

Please have a look on my vhost and if you have any ideas what am i doing wrong, please tell me!

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName something.domain.com
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/certificate.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl.key/certificate.key
SSLProxyEngine On
ProxyPreserveHost on
ProxyPass / http://mail.domain.com/
ProxyPassReverse / http://mail.domain.com/
ProxyRequests on
SSLEngine on
ProxyPass / https://mail.domain.com/
ProxyPassReverse / https://mail.domain.com/
</VirtualHost>

Thanks in advance

You can not have two different Proxy*Pass to the same location in one vhost.

use https OR http, but not both.

Didn't know that, thanks!

I tried also separating them to two different files (one for HTTP and the other for HTTPS)

That worked, but for some reason, it disables all other vhost files.

Here is the file

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName something.domain.com
SSLCertificateFile server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile server.key
ProxyRequests Off
SSLEngine On
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / https://mail.domain.com/
ProxyPassReverse / https://mail.domain.com/
</VirtualHost>

You may post the config on http://apaste.info/ or http://pastebin.com/ so that we can check why the other vhosts vanish.

i found the error:

<VirtualHost *:443>

should be:
