502 PROXY ERROR when trying to login confluence

saketh-stash

I am devops engineer at my company, and I maintain the confluence, Jira here. We are facing the below error when we are trying to login to confluence.I added the proxytimeout value to 120 seconds and restarted the httpd but it still shows the same error. Hence, could anyone of you help me solving this issue?

Error on browser:
Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /dashboard.action.
Error reading from remote server

Error in httpd confluence ssl error log:
[proxy_http:error] [pid 20175] (70007)The timeout specified has expired: [client ipaddress] AH01102: error reading status line from remote server confluenceserver:8090

NOTE:

Confluence is running on the server,apache is running successfully
I did "curl confluenceservername", this also give the repsonse properly.

steps performed:
restarted confluence
restarted apache
restarted mysql
restarted crowd
changed the port and restarted confluence,apache.

please someone help me

Try adding this in your httpd.conf file

Timeout 2400
ProxyTimeout 2400
ProxyBadHeader Ignore

currently timeout is 60, should i write these lines under that or inside the virtual host

Inside the virtual host

THANK YOU!!! I lost hours trying to make this work. I found nothing about the proxy timeout on confluence's installation guide. Worst thing is, that when the proxy times out (i.e. during DB initialization), it will corrupt the whole database and confluence becomes unusable with exceptions messages like:

com.atlassian.util.concurrent.LazyReference$InitializationException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Spring Application context has not been set
 at com.atlassian.util.concurrent.LazyReference.getInterruptibly(LazyReference.java:149)
 at com.atlassian.util.concurrent.LazyReference.get(LazyReference.java:112)

There is a TON of people complaining about this problem and a solution is nowhere. Most of them talk about read/write permissions, other propose reinitializing the DB, which when you do from behind an apache proxy, will just fail again and mess up the DB again and you can start over

Again. Kudos to you my good sir.

Very helpful answer, thank you very much.

It is also possible to provide time out values using connectiontimeout and timeout parameters (in seconds) of ProxyPass setting:

<VirtualHost *:443>
...
ProxyPass /confluence http://localhost:8095/confluence connectiontimeout=300 timeout=300
ProxyPassReverse /confluence http://localhost:8095/confluence
...
</VirtualHost>

Spent tons of time trying everything from this

Confluence does not start due to Spring Application context has not been set
https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/confluence-does-not-start-due-to-spring-application-context-has-not-been-set-218278311.html

but nothing helped.
