Direct JIRA to subdomain on CentOS 6 server

David Rhoderick

I've successfully installed JIRA on my server and I can get it to load nicely at http://myserver.com:8080/.  I went through the steps at https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/proxying-atlassian-server-applications-with-apache-http-server-mod_proxy_http-806032611.html but it still won't load at http://jira.myserver.com(I get ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED).

Additionally, I am on Apache version 2.4.25 and here is my vhost.conf file contents (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is my actual IP address):

<VirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:80>
  ServerName jira.myserver.com
  ProxyRequests Off
  ProxyVia Off
 
  RemoteIPHeader X-Forwarded-For
 
  <Proxy XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX>
    Require all granted
  </Proxy>
 
  ProxyPass / http://myserver.com:8080/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://myserver.com:8080/
</VirtualHost>

And here is my server.xml Connect code:

<Connector port="8080"
                   maxThreads="150"
                   minSpareThreads="25"
                   minSpareThreads="25"
                   connectionTimeout="20000"
                   enableLookups="false"
                   maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
                   protocol="HTTP/1.1"
                   useBodyEncodingForURI="true"
                   redirectPort="8443"
                   acceptCount="100"
                   disableUploadTimeout="true"
                   proxyName="jira.myserver.com"
                   proxyPort="80"
                   scheme="http"
                   />

I'm getting an "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED" error on my server if I go to jira.myserver.com.  If I go to myserver.com:8080, I can't go past my Agile boards in each of my project pages and my gadgets shows a DNS error message.

On top of that, if I go to server.myserver.com, I can load my JIRA installation.  server.myserver.com and jira.myserver.com are the on the same line in my /etc/hosts/ file and server.myserver.com is defined in my httpd.conf file, which says I shouldn't edit it, for all unbound IP addresses.

I've tried tweaking it so much, what else can I try to fix this?

I had to add a DNS entry for jira.myserver.com.  I tried to do it manually in /etc/hosts and /named et cetera but it was easiest to just create the subdomain from my cPanel and then restart apache servers to grab that new subdomain and proxy it correctly.
