Apache 2.4.7, mod_proxy, SSL. JIRA7 + Confluence 5.8.14 on same server, installing to their own respective subdomains.
TL:DR: Could not access JIRA/Confluence on a subdomain if I used a context path for JIRA or Confluence. https://jira.domain.com --> http://internalserver:8080/jira and https://conf.domain.com --> http://internalserver:8090/confluence proxy did not work. Had to take out and not use a context path to get the proxy to work https://jira.domain.com --> http://internalserver:8080/ and https://conf.domain.com --> http://internalserver:8090/ respectively
I was using the guides here:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/using-apache-with-mod_proxy-173669.html
https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira061/jira-installation-and-upgrade-guide/customizing-your-jira-installation/integrating-jira-with-a-web-server/integrating-jira-with-apache/integrating-jira-with-apache-using-ssl
I was able to get everything running. But initially, I installed the respective software to use a context path, https://internalserver:8080/jira and https://internalserver:8090/confluence . Problem is, whenever I tried that, I could not get the Proxy to work.
General Idea of the code:
// tomcat's server.xml <Context path="/confluence" docBase="../confluence" debug="0" reloadable="true"> <Connector port="8090" ... proxyName="conf.domain.com" proxyPort="443" scheme=https" /> <Context docBase="${catalina.home}/atlassian-jira" path="/jira" reloadable="false" useHttpOnly="true"> <Connector port="8080" ... proxyName="jira.domain.com" proxyPort="443" scheme=https" /> // JIRA apache VHost SSLProxyEngine On ProxyRequests Off ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/jira ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/jira ProxyHTMLURLMap / /jira/ // Confluence apache VHost SSLProxyEngine On ProxyRequests Off ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass / http://localhost:8090/confluence ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8090/confluence ProxyHTMLURLMap / /confluence/
A blank page would come up.
I could visit http://localhost:8080/jira or http://localhost:8090/confluence just fine, but for some reason, the proxy would not work. I tried modifying the settings in the virtualhost, but would get varying results.
Sometimes I could get the page to come through, but the CSS/JS would not load. Or I would get a directory listing of the JIRA directory. Or it would redirect to https://jira.domain.com/jira . or 404.
In order for it to work, I had to remove the context path completely
// tomcat's server.xml <Context path="" docBase="../confluence" debug="0" reloadable="true"> <Connector port="8090" ... proxyName="conf.domain.com" proxyPort="443" scheme=https" /> <Context docBase="${catalina.home}/atlassian-jira" path="" reloadable="false" useHttpOnly="true"> <Connector port="8080" ... proxyName="jira.domain.com" proxyPort="443" scheme=https" /> // JIRA apache VHost SSLProxyEngine On ProxyRequests Off ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/ ProxyHTMLURLMap / /jira/ // Confluence apache VHost SSLProxyEngine On ProxyRequests Off ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass / http://localhost:8090/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8090/ ProxyHTMLURLMap / /confluence/
And then everything worked.
While it seems that from the guide for JIRA installation (2nd link), that if you wanted it on a subdomain, that you shouldn't use context path, the guide for Confluence (the first guide link) specifically states to use the /confluence context path and gives code to implement it as such.
I guess not a big deal since I got it working, but I am a little confused as to why I couldn't get it to work using a context path for either JIRA or Confluence. based on apache docs (https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass ProxyPass [path] url), it should still work with a context path ?
What am I missing?
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/jira/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/jira/
Hello Alexander, Sorry for the late response. I modifed JIRA's server.xml, added "/jira" to the context path, and changed apache conf for jira to above. The result of going to the domain (https://jira.domain.com) redirects to https://jira.domain.com/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa No CSS or JS is loaded An CSS/JS it tries to load is: https://jira.domain.com/jira/s/{LONG_HASH}/_/download/contextbatch/css/_super/batch.css (this very CSS can be loaded if I take out the /jira/ from the URL, as such: https://jira.domain.com/s/{LONG_HASH}/_/download/contextbatch/css/_super/batch.css The same could be said for JS Here is a screenshot of the page: http://i.imgur.com/0dA9JM6.png
