Base URL not being used for thumbnails and other links

[lihaibh]

Ive installed jira software (server) on my centos machine.

through nginx server i forward the requests to jira.

here is the configuration im using:

server
{
  listen 443 ssl;
  server_name jira.baseurl;

  location / {
  proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9000;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
  proxy_redirect http://127.0.0.1:9000/ /;
  client_max_body_size 10M;
  }
} 

Also created a license and connected it into my mysql database.

when loading pages thoughout jira, im having issues loading certain assets as jira create the html with wrong urls, i checked and the baseurl in settings is correct..

why its using http://127.0.0.1 instead of https://jira.baseurl?

also is it possible to load relatively? without the prefix of https://url/

thank you.

What do you have in your /<installdir>/conf/server.xml?

And you did set the baseurl in the general configuration, correct?

When i first setup Jira it asked me for the baseurl so i gave it my url.

Also server.xml is the generated default i guess:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

In your <connector> attribute, you need to add a few things for the proxy to work.

Here's what it should look like:

 <Connector port="9000"

 maxThreads="150"
 minSpareThreads="25"
 connectionTimeout="20000"

 enableLookups="false"
 maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
 protocol="HTTP/1.1"
 useBodyEncodingForURI="true"
 redirectPort="8443"
 acceptCount="100"
 disableUploadTimeout="true"
 bindOnInit="false"

 scheme="https"
 proxyName="jira.baseurl.com"
 proxyPort="443"
 secure="true"
/>
