Set apache subdomain reverse proxy for bitbucket

[Daniel]

I read several documentations "how to make it possible" like these

https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/proxying-atlassian-server-applications-with-apache-http-server-mod_proxy_http-806032611.html

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/examples.html

I not even try to use https for the moment. First I wanna a small success, access bitbucket via my subdomain...

Running:

Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS

Bitbucket 5.0.0

Apache/2.4.18

/var/atlassian/application-data/bitbucket/shared/bitbucket.properties:

server.port=7990
server.secure=false
server.scheme=http
server.proxy-port=80
server.redirect-port=80
server.proxy-name=mysub.mydomain.mytld

/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName mysub.mydomain.mytld
        DocumentRoot /opt/atlassian/bitbucket/5.0.0/

        ProxyRequests Off
        ProxyVia Off

        <Directory /opt/atlassian/bitbucket/5.0.0/>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        Require all granted
        </Directory>


          ProxyPass         /bitbucket  http://mydomain.mytld:7990/
          ProxyPassReverse  /bitbucket  http://mydomain.mytld:7990/

</VirtualHost>

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf

......
<Directory /opt/atlassian/bitbucket/5.0.0/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
</Directory>
......

restart commands

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

within /opt/atlassian/bitbucket/5.0.0/bin/
./stop-bitbucket.sh
./start-bitbucket.sh

bitbucket base url (bitbucket settings administration)

http://mysub.mydomain.mytld

- With the default bitbucket.properties bitbucket works, when I call http://mydomain:mytld:7990/

- With my custom bitbucket.properties, when I call http://mysub.mydomain.mytld/ shows me the index of all files in this directory. When I create an index.html file, it is displayed. But no trace of bitbucket.

Answer above works as stated. with exception that. you might not have contact. /bitbucket.  take those out. also you may have to create properties files mentioned. bitbucket.properties if you installed an eval. ( this file only created when app needs to do something that rewires it ie migrations.

other than that this original post as is worked , thanks 'nope nope'

Did you ever solve this? I have been struggling all day with same.

What does your config look like? Per my answer, if it has DocumentRoot and Directory sections they might be getting in the way.

[Roger Barnes]

A couple of things to try:

• Remove the DocumentRoot and Directory sections, these aren't used when proxying and may be getting in the way.
• Check that mod_proxy is correctly installed and enabled
• Check the logs after restarting apache

In short, it looks like Bitbucket is working, but apache isn't configured correctly to proxy through to it. Section 2 in the first page you linked to shows the sum total of config you should need, anything extra might be getting in the way.
