3.1 update reverse proxypass (apache)

Discussion in 'Developers' Forum' started by Rein van 't Veer, Jun 10, 2016.

  1. Hi,

    I'm using the following apache directive to give my clients the control panel over https (port 443) instead of 9999

    Code:
    SSLProxyEngine on
    SSLProxyVerify none
    SSLProxyCheckPeerCN off
    SSLProxyCheckPeerName off
    SSLProxyCheckPeerExpire off
    ProxyPass / https://127.0.0.1:9999/
    ProxyPassReverse / https://127.0.0.1:9999/
    The SSLChecks are just to bypass a false certificate ;-).

    my firewall is blocking port 9999, so it's not less secure imo.

    But: something goes wrong with the loading of the page.

    Chrome gives adds /login/ (as expected; otherwise a session would already exist)
    BUT: other URL's are also with the /login/ ending

    Code:
    jquery.min.js:4 GET https://control.ichtushosting.com/login/nav.php?nav=side 404 (Not Found)send @ jquery.min.js:4ajax @ jquery.min.js:4loadMenus @ ispconfig.min.js:1loadInitContent @ ispconfig.min.js:1(anonymous function) @ ispconfig.min.js:1dispatch @ jquery.min.js:3r.handle @ jquery.min.js:3trigger @ jquery.min.js:3triggerHandler @ jquery.min.js:3ready @ jquery.min.js:2I @ jquery.min.js:2
    jquery.min.js:4 GET https://control.ichtushosting.com/login/dashboard/dashboard.php 404 (Not Found)send @ jquery.min.js:4ajax @ jquery.min.js:4loadInitContent @ ispconfig.min.js:1(anonymous function) @ ispconfig.min.js:1dispatch @ jquery.min.js:3r.handle @ jquery.min.js:3trigger @ jquery.min.js:3triggerHandler @ jquery.min.js:3ready @ jquery.min.js:2I @ jquery.min.js:2
    jquery.min.js:4 GET https://control.ichtushosting.com/login/keepalive.php 404 (Not Found)send @ jquery.min.js:4ajax @ jquery.min.js:4keepalive @ ispconfig.min.js:1loadInitContent @ ispconfig.min.js:1(anonymous function) @ ispconfig.min.js:1dispatch @ jquery.min.js:3r.handle @ jquery.min.js:3trigger @ jquery.min.js:3triggerHandler @ jquery.min.js:3ready @ jquery.min.js:2I @ jquery.min.js:2
    jquery.min.js:4 GET https://control.ichtushosting.com/login/nav.php?nav=top 404 (Not Found)send @ jquery.min.js:4ajax @ jquery.min.js:4loadMenus @ ispconfig.min.js:1loadInitContent @ ispconfig.min.js:1(anonymous function) @ ispconfig.min.js:1dispatch @ jquery.min.js:3r.handle @ jquery.min.js:3trigger @ jquery.min.js:3triggerHandler @ jquery.min.js:3ready @ jquery.min.js:2I @ jquery.min.js:2
    This should be:
    Code:
    https://control.ichtushosting.com/dashboard/dashboard.php
    https://control.ichtushosting.com/nav.php?nav=top
    https://control.ichtushosting.com/keepalive.php
    
    Right?

    I just set this up earlier this week, what I have and seems to work fine (haven't seen any session issues) using port 8080 is:
    Code:
    # cat /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/local.conf
    # local (to this server) config snippets
    
    Alias /webmail /var/lib/roundcube

        # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
        # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
        # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
        # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
        # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
        # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.

    I had to enable the proxy and proxy_http apache modules.

    The 000-default-ssl.conf contents are mostly from 000-ispconfig.vhost (I'd love it if the SSL settings were in a common file included by both 000-ispconfig.vhost and 000-default-ssl.conf, so I don't have to try to manually track SSLCipherSuite changes and such).

    I think letsencrypt is still working with this (need to test more), but webmail and other things are fine so far. If you're running 3.1, you can easily setup letsencrypt for your control panel as well, and get rid of the certificate errors.
     
  3. It was a bit more complicated for my setup, but I made it work :).

    Control panel = https://control.domain.com
    not listening on port 9999 anywhere
    Uses the default 000-ispconfig.vhost
    At the moment uses Let's encrypt certificates

    Todo: configure let'secrypt to auto renew these certificates.

    Rein, how did you achieve for the control panel to be in a subdomain?
     
  5. I added a new website (not subdomain) with control.domain.com as name.
    Afterwards I added this into the Apache options (on the Options tab, apache directives):

    Code:
    SSLProxyEngine On
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    SSLProxyVerify                      none
    SSLProxyCheckPeerCN         off
    SSLProxyCheckPeerName     off
    SSLProxyCheckPeerExpire    off
    ProxyPass /.well-known/ !
    ProxyPass / https://localhost:8099/
    ProxyPassReverse / https://localhost:8099/
    
    the ssl options are needed because ispconfig listens on https, the Proxypass /.well-known/! makes sure the request from lets encrypt is not forwarded.

    The other proxy pass options are there to forward the request to the internal localhost on port 8099 :)

    So I did as you mentioned above but I got the following error:

    Code:
    Internal Server Error
    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
    
    Please contact the server administrator at [email protected] to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.
    
    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
    
    Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    
    Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu) Server at wpanel.domain.com  Port 443
     
  7. on which port is your ispconfig control panel currently accessible?
     
  8. luisdyablo619

    luisdyablo619 New Member

    I believe only in 8080.

    I changed the code to 8080 from 8099.
     
  9. check your error logs, maybe you need to enable the proxy modules in apache?

    Yes it worked perfectly, just had to enable the proxy modules, I thought I had already done so. Thanks!
