How to configure Reverse Proxy to Axes using path

Post by m.ferrara » 10 Mar 2020, 19:50

Hi,
I'm trying to configure a reverse proxy to access from internet to my Axes server.

I configured Apache 2.4.6 on CentOS 7 in this way:

Code: Select all

ProxyRequests off

<Proxy *>
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from all
</Proxy>

ProxyTimeout 300
<VirtualHost externalexes.mysite.com:80>
        ServerName externalaxes.mysite.com
        ProxyPreserveHost On
        ProxyPass / http://internalaxes.mysite.com.:5563/
       ProxyPassReverse / http://internalaxes.mysite.com:5563/
</VirtualHost>

And it works if I set in ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse / (after return my url change from http://externalexes.mysite.com to http://externalexes.mysite.com/wba/home.html)

I'll like to set my proxypass using path, for example I try to set in ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse /internal/

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost externalexes.mysite.com:80>
        ServerName externalaxes.mysite.com
        ProxyPreserveHost On
        ProxyPass /internal/ http://internalaxes.mysite.com.:5563/
       ProxyPassReverse /internal http://internalaxes.mysite.com:5563/
</VirtualHost>
I received this error on my browser:
Not Found
The requested URL /mtest/ was not found on this server.


These are the Apache access logs:
http://externalexes.mysite.com/

Re: How to configure Reverse Proxy to Axes using path

Post by jeanmichel » 19 Mar 2020, 09:53

Hi

What are you trying to achieve with this reverse proxy?

Strictly speaking this is not an aXes question, rather a general reverse proxy on Apache setting.

from what I can see from your config files http://externalexes.mysite.com/internal/wba/home.html --> http://internalaxes.mysite.com:5563/wba/home.html

But your logs show you are getting "GET /ts/axbuildinfo.js HTTP/1.1" not /internel/ts/axbuildinfo.js so that's not found.

also not sure about ProxyPass /internal/ http://internalaxes.mysite.com.:5563/
isn't it ProxyPass /internal http://internalaxes.mysite.com:5563/

There is a / after the path which shouldn't be there and a . after the fqn dns name which should not be there.
