CSS and Script files not found behind Apache reverse proxy

Question

Installed Bitbucket 7.21 on Ubuntu 20.04. Everything works when I directly connect to http://bitbucket.myserver.mytld:7990. I configured Apache2 reverse proxy and now none of the CSS, img, and JS resources are found, I simply get the plain unadorned html. That indicates that the bitbucket server IS being accessed through the proxy, just none of the resources are there. Comparing the

ServerName bitbucket.myserver.mytld ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyRequests Off ProxyVia Off Require all granted ProxyPass / http://localhost:7990/bitbucket ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:7990/bitbucket and bitbucket.properties # context path server.context-path=/bitbucket #### settings for http server.scheme=http server.proxy-port=80 server.proxy-name=bitbucket.myserver.mytld What am I missing? Thanks for any help

Do you have the correct configuration in your ${server_home_dir}/conf/server.xml?

Confirm the proxyHost='bitbucket.myserver.mytld'

The proxyPort and the scheme are set correctly

here is one such url copied from the web inspector.

http://bitbucket.myserver.mytld/s/-888238628/6dea001/n1cn5w/1.0/_/download/resources/com.atlassian.bitbucket.server.bitbucket-webpack-INTERNAL:bitbucket-logo/images/logo/bitbucket.svg

The url is identical for direct connect to 7990 as well as for the proxy connection. Connecting through the proxy gives a 404 not found, direct connect shows the bitbucket.svg logo. Same issue for everything that is referenced from the html like img, scripts, css etc.

When you look at the page you are loading in the image above with Dev tools what is the error code and the URL of the resources that fail to load?

Hopefully that will guide you. Is it a 403 or a 404?
Is the URL a legitimate URL?

Given you are also seeing "Oops you found a dead link" indicates the context may be work.

Have a look at the  setup in your ${JIRA_INSTALL}/conf/server.xmlas well.
