Confluence Server - Apache proxy - No CSS

Tim Blom

Hello everyone,

I'm currently using a trial of Confluence on a fresh CentOS7 install. To get a nicer URL without a port number in it, I followed this guide to configure Apache mod_proxy_http with a subdomain (confluence.example.com).

This seems to be partially working. If I go to confluence.example.com:8090 I get Confluence working as intended. However, when I go to confluence.example.com (without the port number), the site does not seem to display CSS elements.

I was wondering if any of you had this problem before and how you solved it. Below is my Apache vhost config:

<VirtualHost *:80>
 ServerName confluence.example.com

 ProxyRequests Off
 ProxyVia Off

 <Proxy *>
 Require all granted
 </Proxy>

 ProxyPass / http://confluence.example.com:8090/confluence/
 ProxyPassReverse / http://confluence.example:8090/confluence/
</VirtualHost>

If you need any additional information, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there!

On the ProxyPass line, can you try removing the / after confluence/?

See if that works for you. I know this has helped other users in the past.

Hi Shannon,

Thanks for the reply! Sadly, removing the trailing slash did not help. Additional detail I noticed: When I go to confluence.example.com I land on a 404 (Page Not Found) with no CSS of Confluence itself.

Tim,

Thank you for letting me know. You removed it on both lines?

In your Confluence setup (conf/server.xml), can you confirm if you are you using a context path or not? It sounds like originally you were accessing Confluence via confluence.example.com:8090 but if you have a context path set then you wouldn't be able to.

If you don't have a context path set then both ProxyPass lines wouldn't include it:

/ http://confluence.example.com:8090

Hi Shannon,

I managed to fix it, thanks to your help. Part 1 of the problem is that I did not a dot com to the ProxyPassReverse line. Good old human error.

You were right, I did not setup a context path, so there was no need for it to be in the Apache vhost config. I removed it and it worked. For anyone else having this problem: this is my Apache config. Please note, I had to add the trailing slash to the ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse line before this worked.

<VirtualHost *:80>
 ServerName confluence.example.com

 ProxyRequests Off
 ProxyVia Off
 Timeout 2400
 ProxyTimeout 2400
 ProxyBadHeader Ignore

 <Proxy *>
 Require all granted
 </Proxy>

 ProxyPass / http://confluence.example.com:8090/
 ProxyPassReverse / http://confluence.example.com:8090/
</VirtualHost>

Thanks once again!

Regards,

Tim
