Base url problem with mod_proxy

[Jae Seong Gu]

I use virtual hosts for serving my Confluence.

First, httpd.conf is below:

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName wiki.MYDOMAIN.com

   ProxyRequests Off
   <Proxy *>
      Order deny,allow
      Allow from all
   </Proxy>

   ProxyPass / http://localhost:8090/
   ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8090/
   <Location />
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
   </Location>
</VirtualHost>

And server.xml is below:

<Connector port="8090" redirectPort="8443" ... />
   <Engine name="Standalone" defaultHost="localhost" debug="0">
      <Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="false">
         <Context path="" docBase="../confluence" debug="0" reloadable="true" useHttpOnly="true">

Finally, confluence's base url is

http://wiki.MYDOMAIN.com

and my web browser's url is also that is.

In this situation, there is no warning message on 'Server Base Url' in General Configuration, but when I go to 'Plugins' section, then the server which running confluence loose connection for a while. But weired thing is when I approach using ip(http://ip:8090) and changed base url with that then there is no problem. works great.

What's wrong with me?

Hi Jason,

You might need to configure the redirection properly with proxyName and proxyPort parameter implemented as mentioned here:

Hope it helps.
