Forum OpenACS Q&A: OpenACS 3.2.5 reverse proxy issue..

Hi All,

I've got an Aolserver/OpenACS 3.2.5 system running that is being proxied to via Apache:

  ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8001
  ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8001

And the proxy'ing through part seems to work fine.

The issue I'm having is that OpenACS is ignoring the reverse proxy and is using it's own URL, not letting apache re-write the URL. I've searched just about everywhere I can think of, the issue also only occurs on 3.2.5 based versions of OpenACS. Version 4.x seems to work fine.

I've already got ForceHostP set to 0 (Which I believe is false :>). I've fiddled with that one setting it to 1 and to 0 and I seem to get the same results...

When I goto the site, it will load on the proper URL, but by the time my browser get's a response back from the server it's using the http://site.com:8001 not the http://site.com address that I want.

When I watch the logs, I see the initial hit in the apache system, but then all other connections, including sending out the page to the client occur on the aolserver side and there is not furthur activity on the apache side.
