Hi, I have just joined the forum to get some answers for my problem. Please reply as it's little urgent.

I am trying to set the webapp using Apache (Server version: Apache/2.4.38 (Unix)) with SSL and Tomcat (Apache Tomcat/8.5.41). Receiving error as Bad Gateway "The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server." Error log receives the error as

[Wed Jun 12 07:22:12.570079 2019] [proxy:error] [pid 3353:tid 139908746516224] (70014)End of file found: [client xxx.xx.x.xxx:62271] AH01084: pass request body failed to 127.0.0.1:8988 (localhost)

Got fix after restoring the old Apache working build. Must be something wrong with proxy-balancer configuration.

Did you ever try mod_proxy_ajp ?

[adesai]

No i didn't. Do you think, is it worth to try?

For me it was after than plain http. I had connected it to jenkins. What is more or less a tomcat clone.
