Nginx - Confluence an Jira Reverse Proxy and SSL

[Abe Figueroa]

Issue: 

Reverse proxy and ssl not working on Confluence. Similar setup works in Jira. I noticed the connectors protocol was different, but cannot figure out why the reverse proxy/ssl will not allow a connection or even a resposne unless i get to it directly with the port or the public ip+port.

AWS:

EC2 VPC with DNS configs checked

Security groups on instance allowed to be access only by VPN ip on ports:

  - 8090

  - 443

  - 80

Confluence Setup:

/opt/atlassian/confluence/conf/server.xml

/opt/atlassian/confluence/conf/Standalone/localhost/synchrony-proxy.xml

Confluence nginx.conf:

/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

/etc/conf.d/ssl.conf

/etc/sites-available/default.conf -> /etc/sites-enabled/default.conf

Logs:

/var/log/nginx/confluence.error.log

so solved this with apache ... i will circle back to post nginx configs once i set them up properly.

I will also post my apache2.x configs and setups along with connectors.... 

TBC.
