JIRA Virtualhost external URLredirects to JIRA application server URL. Why?

[Frank Litjens]

I have both jira and confluence running on the same machine. If I access my confluence host via the external URL:

• http://confluence.domain.com
  it is changed to
  http://confluence.domain.com/confluence/login

However when I access JIRA via my external URL

• http://jira.domain.com
  it is changed to
  http://atlas.domain.com/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa
  
  where I expected the URL
  
  http://jira.domain.com/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa

Both virtual hosts work, however I would like jira to have the same behaviour as confluence. The problem here is that I have to fill in a different base URL than the one the user originally connects to.

What did I do wrong, or what do I miss.

Kind regards,

Frank Litjens

You learn most by solving your own problems, and I did.

All I had to do was settings the correct ProxyName in server.xml.

ProxyName="jira.domain.nl" instead of "atlas.domain.nl"

Problems solved.
