Topic: Reverse Proxy broken after libssl package upgrade

[swaitch]

Hi All,

Apache 2.4.7
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

I recently upgraded to the latest libssl1.0.0 package on a reverse proxy in my test environment. After doing so I am no longer able to access the intended web application.

error.log output: http://hastebin.com/juyojucali.js

Virtual Host config: http://hastebin.com/piheyosovu.apache

apt-cache policy libssl1.0.0 shows the following :
libssl1.0.0:
Installed: 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.21
Candidate: 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.21

If I restore the VM to a state prior to the upgrade and hold the libssl1.0.0 package, then install all available package upgrades, the reverse proxy continues to serve the requested application from an internal application server.

The internal application server on the other side of the proxy is a Windows 2008 server running Apache Tomcat.

The prior version of libssl is 1.0.1f-ubuntu2.8, which works without flaw.

Has anyone experienced this behavior?
Any suggestions as to what I can look at beyond logs?

As a side note, I am somewhat of a newb, so be gentle.

Thanks!

The apache mod_proxy_connect is not compatible with that SSL Verion.

In such a case I compile apache myself

Thanks for the reply. I will look into compiling apache myself to see if that resolves the issue.

And thanks for the link!
