Apache Reverse Proxy Config

[stevendodd]

Everything works great except for when I put it behind a reverse proxy. Here is my apache reverse proxy config:

  ProxyPreserveHost Off
  ProxySourceAddress <proxy ip>
  ProxyPass /cloudlog http://<cloudlog server ip>
  ProxyPassReverse /cloudlog http://<cloudlog server ip>
  ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain  "<cloudlog server ip>"  "<external domain>"
  ProxyPassReverseCookiePath  "/"  "/cloudlog/"

config.php:
$config['proxy_ips'] = '<proxy ip>';

I've tried all sorts of combinations and just can't get it to work; it keeps on doing an http 307 redirect when going via the proxy and the pages don't load properly externally.

Here is a screenshot of the application when proxied; it complains that I'm going to submit an insecure form as well so I think it's something to do with moving from https

I've tried setting headers and changing other options to no avail - for example:

    RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "http" early
    RequestHeader set  X-Forwarded-Host "192.168.1.32" early

Uh oh! @stevendodd, the image you shared is missing helpful alt text. Check #2941 (comment).

Alt text is an invisible description that helps screen readers describe images to blind or low-vision users. If you are using markdown to display images, add your alt text inside the brackets of the markdown image.

Learn more about alt text at Basic writing and formatting syntax: images on GitHub Docs.

I've figured this out and got it working myself; my proxy settings were fine however you need to set the base_url correctly for the proxy server. This means but if you try and access it via the cloudlog server IP address you will be redirected to it via proxy.

https://<external domain>/cloudlog proxies to http://<cloudlog server ip address>

application/config/config.php

$config['base_url']     = 'https://<external domain>/cloudlog/';
$config['proxy_ips'] = '<proxy ip address>';

Apache2 proxy virtualhost

    ProxyPreserveHost Off
    ProxySourceAddress <proxy ip address>
    RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https" early
    RequestHeader set  X-Forwarded-Host "<external domain>" early
    ProxyPass /cloudlog http://<cloudlog server ip address>
    ProxyPassReverse /cloudlog http://<cloudlog server ip address>
    ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain  "<cloudlog server ip address>"  "<external domain>"
    ProxyPassReverseCookiePath  "/"  "/cloudlog/"

Adding this in config.php means that both local and proxy work

if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '<proxy ip address>') {
  $config['base_url'] = 'https://<external domain>/cloudlog/';
} else {
  $config['base_url'] = 'http://<cloudlog server ip address>';
}
