• Configuring my apache to have a libresource virtual host
• Configure the rules of the reverse proxy with a regular expression to redirect every request with the same path to Libresource server
• Not changing the libresourceConfig.properties file

So, this does obviously not come from the reverse proxy configuration but from the kernel.serverUrl value. If I add kernel.serverUrl with subcontext, I get the right page, and if the value has no subcontext I get the page mentionned before.

Is this a DNS problem? To answer your question, a nslookup from the Libresource server machine to the apache gives me the right answer. I also compared the generated html between the two configs (local access which works and with kernel.serverUrl pointing to the reverse proxy which does not work):

• The only difference is one html tag:

<base href="http://ip_machine_name_B:9000/"/>
vs
<base href="http://libresource_dns_name_machine_A:80//"/>

which seems normal. I really don't see why this does not work except a DNS problem. But, in that case, why do I get the ugly page when i access the server locally (with kernel.serverUrl pointing to the reverse server)?

kernel.serverUrl=http://libresource_dns_name_machine_A/

But I was wondering if the libresource server has access to your specific DNS ? (in order to resolved libresource_dns_name_machine_A)

Another way of checking of what is going wrong :

• Check the html page if it tries to retrieve stylesheet in a wrong location.
• Check the url in another browser on the server and on another computer...

• In the apache proxy.conf file

ProxyPass / http://ip_machine_B:9000
ProxyPassReverse / http://ip_machine_B:9000

• In libresourceConfig.properties on the Libresource server

kernel.serverUrl=http://libresource_dns_name_machine_A/

• In server.xml of the Libresource server:

<Connector port="9000" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
               maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
               enableLookups="false" redirectPort="9043" acceptCount="100"
               connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true"
               proxyName="libresource_dns_name_machine_A" proxyPort="80"/>

where libresource_dns_name_machine_A is the libresource dedicated name in our DNS. Basically, libresource_dns_name_machine_A is libresource.dns_name_machine_A, so it has the same domain.

Now, I should be able to call http://libresource_dns_name_machine_A which should redirect me to the libresource default page. Instead, I get very ugly page with no stylesheets and all libresource menus aligned on the left, no images. I tried rechange the kernel.serverUrl=http://ip_machine_name_B:9000, just for test and now I get the expected page (but of course, this solution isn't satisfying since only the first request will get through the reverse proxy).

It seems to me as if the error would come from the value I set to the kernel.serverUrl but I don't see what. Any idea?

Thanks

• Edit the file Distribution/build.properties and change the property "services.web.context=/libresource"
• Set the kernel.serverUrl=http://dns_name_machine_A
• change the proxy to point to http://dns_name_machine_B:9000/libresource

I made recent change to support context root but I don't remember if I transfered them to LSC.

• In the apache proxy.conf file

ProxyPass /libresource http://ip_machine_B:9000
ProxyPassReverse /libresource http://ip_machine_B:9000

• In libresourceConfig.properties on the Libresource server

kernel.serverUrl=http://dns_name_machine_A/libresource

• In the server.xml of the Libresource server:

<Connector port="9000" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
               maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
               enableLookups="false" redirectPort="9043" acceptCount="100"
               connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true"
               proxyName="dns_name_machine_A" proxyPort="80"/>

• For generated links like children tag, I get http://dns_name_machine_A/libresource/projects/myproject which works since he uses the kernel.serverUrl
• For hard coded links like ! forum ! I get urls like: http://dns_name_machine_A/projects/myproject/forum
• This behavior is on other links, too (like login and logout and which are not on the menu)

<Connector port="9000" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
               maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
               enableLookups="false" redirectPort="9043" acceptCount="100"
               connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" 
               proxyName="www.toto.org" proxyPort="80"/>

I added in proxy.conf of the apache following rule:

ProxyPass /libresource http://ip_machine_A:port
ProxyPassReverse /libresource http://ip_machine_A:port

and in LibreSource/JONAS_4_7_6/conf/libresourceConfig.properties kernel.serverUrl=http://ip_machine_A/libresource

This works except for hard coded paths. But I have the feeling this is not the right way.

Does anyone has done such a configuration yet and if yes, what am I doing wrong? Or is there somewhere a documentation or simply a link?

Thanks a lot
