Jira http -> https via Apache ??

Vincent Bressler

I have a Windows box running Apache 2.4 http + https

and also Jira running http (port 8080) on the same box.

My understanding is that I should be able to set up something like this:

Jira <-> Apache http <-> Apache https <-> Internet

To that end I have the following in my port 443 <VirtualHost> section:

###########################################################
# START Jira Proxy Configuration: #########################
###########################################################
# This does not seem to break anything, but it also does
# not connect to the Jira server.
# https://missionctrl.info/jira -> gives a 404 error
###########################################################
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>

SSLProxyEngine On
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass "/jira/" "http://missionctrl.info:8080/"
ProxyPassReverse "/jira/" "http://missionctrl.info:8080/"

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
###########################################################
# END Jira Proxy Configuration ############################
###########################################################

</VirtualHost>

 

All the appropriate modules are active. But I'm getting a 404 error when I try to go to http://missionctrl.info/jira

Can anyone help me with this?

Here's my software version:

Atlassian Jira Project Management Software (v7.13.1#713001-sha1:5e06076)

Hi @Vincent Bressler , 

 

I'm more familiar with Apache on Linux, but it should not be that different on Windows.

First thing : I don't think you need to go through Apache in HTTP. The usual architecture is : 

Jira (listens on 8080) <-> Apache (listens on 443) <-> Internet.

I usually point to this guide by Atlassian to configure Apache : https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/integrating-jira-with-apache-using-ssl-938847754.html#IntegratingJirawithApacheusingSSL-Step2:ConfigureApacheHTTPServer

 

As your URL is formed like "https://mycompany.com/jira" you should also make sure that your Tomcat connector has the Context Path configured : https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/proxying-atlassian-server-applications-with-apache-http-server-mod_proxy_http-806032611.html#ProxyingAtlassianserverapplicationswithApacheHTTPServer(mod_proxy_http)-2.Setthecontextpath

 

Let me know if this helps,
