Computer Configuration Reverse Proxy - https issue
Hi All

I need your valuable help on this. Im trying to setup reverse proxy using apache in rhel 5.5. I just started with Apache, and not much idea about going with advance level config, except that i have tried to set up this reverse proxy based on an online guide i found in internet. The purpose of this test to validate, whether the incoming url request from outside is successfully diverting to given application url.

So far, im getting expected result ( thats wht im thinking ) for http requests from outside, as its successfully diverting to the url mentioned in httpd virtual host config, which is as below

-->

ProxyRequests Off

NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:443

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName ws01.mydom.com
ServerAlias ws01
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/ws01_error.log
TransferLog /var/log/httpd/ws01_access.log

ProxyPass / hxxp://test.mydom.com:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / hxxp://test.mydom.com:8080/

</VirtualHost>

------------------->

what im trying to do next is , is below

1) http url divert to https, and from there to actual app url
2) direct https will divert to app url

So far i have modified the httpd.conf file as follows

-------------------------->

ProxyRequests Off

NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:443

#Redirect HTTP Request to HTTPS
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName ws01.mydom.com
ServerAlias ws01
Redirect / hxxps://ws01.mydom.com/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName ws01.mydom.com
ServerAlias ws01
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/ws01_error.log
TransferLog /var/log/httpd/ws01_access.log

ProxyPass / hxxp://test.mydom.com:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / hxxp://test.mydom.com:8080/

SSLEngine On
SSLProxyEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ws01.mydom.com
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/ws01.mydom.com
</VirtualHost>

------------------------------------------>

when i access the url as ,

1) hxxp://ws01.mydom.com/ -> its redirecting to hxxps://ws01.mydom.com/, and stucks, all i can see is white blank page in browser. The log updating is , access_log and not ws01_access.log. The contents of access_log is ->

""GET / HXXP/1.1" 302 291 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; Tablet PC 2.0)""

2) hxxps://ws01.mydom.com/ -> its showing default fedora apache page, rather than redirecting to , hxxp://test.mydom.com:8080/. And only the below log getting updated on this time

a) ssl_request_log -> "TLSv1 AES128-SHA "GET /icons/poweredby.png HTTP/1.1" 299"

b) ssl_error_log -> "Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/" ,
"Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /var/www/icons/poweredby.png, referer: hxxps://192.168.1.172/"

c) ssl_access_log --> ""GET / HTTP/1.1" 403 3918" ,
""GET /icons/poweredby.png HTTP/1.1" 403 299"

I have no idea how to proceed from here, any help would be much appreciated.

What i expect is, the url need to be diverted to hxxp://test.mydom.com:8080/, when accessing from outside, either by http or by https.

NAME

       apache - Apache hypertext transfer protocol server overview

DESCRIPTION

	apache	consists  of a main server daemon, loadable server modules, some additional support utilities, configuration files, and documenta-
       tion.

FILES

       The apache HTTPD server is integrated with Solaris.

       The following files specify the installation locations for apache:

       /etc/apache	       Contains server configuration files.

			       A newly-installed server must be manually configured before use. Typically this involves copying httpd.conf-example
			       to the httpd.conf file and making local configuration adjustments.

       /usr/apache/bin	       Contains the httpd executable as well as other utility programs.

       /usr/apache/htdocs      Contains  the  Apache  manual  in HTML format. This documentation is accessible by way of a link on the server test
			       page that gets installed upon fresh installation.

       /usr/apache/include     Contains the Apache header files, which are needed for building various optional server extensions with apxs(8)

       /usr/apache/jserv       Contains documention for the mod_jserv java servlet module. Documention can be read with a web  browser	using  the
			       url:

			       file:/usr/apache/jserv/docs/index.html

       /usr/apache/libexec     Contains loadable modules (DSOs) supplied with the server. Any modules which are added using apxs(8)are also copied
			       into this directory.

       /usr/apache/man	       Contains man pages for the server, utility programs, and mod_perl.

			       Add this directory to your MANPATH to read the Apache man pages. See NOTES.

       /usr/apache/perl5       Contains the modules and library files used by the mod_perl extension to Apache.

       /var/apache/cgi-bin     Default location for the CGI scripts.

			       This can be changed by altering the httpd.conf file and restarting the server.

       /var/apache/htdocs      Default document root.

			       This can be changed by altering the httpd.conf file and restarting the server.

       /var/apache/icons       Icons used by the server.

			       This normally shouldn't need to be changed.

       /var/apache/logs        Contains server log files.

			       The formats, names, and locations of the files in this directory can be altered by various configuration directives
			       in the httpd.conf file.

       /var/apache/proxy       Directory used to cache pages if the caching feature of mod_proxy is enabled in the httpd.conf file.

			       The location of the cache can also be changed by changing the proxy configuration in the httpd.conf file.

NOTES

       In addition to the documentation and man pages included with Solaris, more information is available at http://www.apache.org

       The  Apache  man pages are provided with the programming modules. To view the manual pages for the Apache modules with the man command, add
       /usr/apache/man to the MANPATH environment  variable. See man(1) for  more information. Running catman(1M) on the Apache  manual  pages	is
       not supported.
