Confluence complaining about Base URL when behind a reverse proxy

Question

So, I have configured Confluence and JIRA for reverse proxies, and I have JIRA working properly; however, confluence continues to complain that the BASE URL is incorrect. The reverse proxy for both is configured identically and my server.xml file has the following config " maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" connectionTimeout="20000" enableLookups="false" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" protocol="HTTP/1.1" useBodyEncodingForURI="true" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100" disableUploadTimeout="true" bindOnInit="false" secure="true" scheme="https" proxyName="removed.mydomain.com" proxyPort="443"/> The proxy points to this connector on port 8080

Hi @Ben Abecassis,

you're using HTTPS, so did you update the base url from "http://jira.mydomain.com" to "httpS:/ /jira.mydomain.com" ?

I guess it should be something like that, as your configuration seems OK to me.

Let me know if you have any questions,

What is the full base url, what is the proxy line or lines, and what is the context in the server.xml ?  Can the server reach itself on the base url?

Feel free to replace the names with removed.my.domain.com as you did before, we're interested in structure and content, not the actual strings involved!
