Location based reverse proxy and https issue

EarthFury commented 11 years ago

My setup is as such:

Apache redirects all http requests to https URLs via:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName myurl.net

        Redirect permanent / https://myurl.net/
</VirtualHost>

Unicorn runs Olelo on :8081
Apache redirects a subdirectory (/wiki) to Olelo:

<VirtualHost *:443>
    # Server name, directory, etc

    <Location /wiki>
        ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:8081
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>

(I've also tried:)

<VirtualHost *:443>
    # Server name, directory, etc

    ProxyPass /wiki http://127.0.0.1:8081
</VirtualHost>

Olelo has the following option set:

base_path:       '/wiki'

Misc information:

The index (https://myurl.net/wiki) contains a tag with http instead of https, even when the request for the page is made explicitly with https:

    <base href="http://myurl.net/wik/"/>

The view menu items link to URLs like: https://myurl.net/?aspect=pageinfo
I've tried disabling Rack::RelativeRedirect, to seemingly no effect.

(As an aside, it seems Google Chrome doesn't like rendering with the CSS when it's redirected from http to https like it's being. Firefox does render fine, though.)

So, my issue is.... Unless I've missconfigured something horribly, or missed an option somewhere, Olelo seems to have some serious URL issues... So what can I do to get this working?

I have running my private wiki under /wiki as you do, also with https and proxy, so it works. I will take a look.

You need "base_path: '/wiki'" and:

ProxyPass /wiki http://localhost:5000
ProxyPassReverse /wiki http://localhost:5000
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests Off
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto https
    <Proxy *>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
    </Proxy>

I think the forwarded proto is the problem. Does it work now?

I added a section to the README.creole

Thank you very much for the prompt reply. :) Really, thank you.

That fixed most things. However, the entries under the "View" menu still point to the server root (Such as: https://myurl.net/?aspect=pageinfo)

Note: I'm using RubyGems on Funtoo (Gentoo), the gem version for Olelo is 0.9.10

Edit: The HTML output for one of the links is: <a href="/?aspect=page">

This could be a caching issue. Please delete the cache and check again. I am glad that it works :)

That was it. You're awesome :) (and this time I'm not accidentally clicking "Close & Comment" instead of "Comment" xD)
