Subdomain - proxy missing from Redirect Type

Hi,
I previously had the option to select "Proxy" as Redirect Type for a subdomain but that option has somehow disappeared. I recently upgraded from Debian 7 to Debian 8. I have made sure proxy_http is enabled - what more needs to be in place to enable the proxy option again ?

Debian 8, Apache 2.4.30, PHP 5.6.30, ISPConfig 3.1.9

- Thanks

Jimmy

 

Yes, 100% sure - I have used it on Apache. I have never used ISPConfig with nginx.

 

I guarantee you it has been there in previous versions then. I have used it, and I have existing subdomains with that option enabled. It has been removed at some point then.
- And I know, because I spent 200 hours extending features in our product that relies on the Proxy ability.

 

Here's a screenshot of one of the subdomains configured with Proxy. Let me know if you need additional details about the server.

 

Attached are the screenshots you requested. Thanks for investigating this.

 

Notice that the Proxy option was not initially available when I was running Debian 7 - I had to enable the proxy_http module to make the option appear in the drop down. But there was no "hacking" involved.

 

Will it change anything if I spend a day restoring a backup of the server running the version of ISPConfig with support for Proxy, proving that the feature was once available for Apache? Will the feature be re-introduced? We did not hack this, nor did we install any extensions except for enabling proxy_http. We document _everything_ we do on this server - it's a production server hosting several large websites.

This is the log entry I made in September 2016 related to this:
---
Added proxy_http to Apache allowing rewrites to different domains (internals only since
Proxy Requests are not enabled by default which is GOOD since it would otherwise make the
server an open HTTP proxy).
Enable module: a2enmod proxy_http
service apache2 restart
---

 

I have asked a colleague to try find a backup made around the time of the upgrade. Fingers cross they have not been removed yet by the backup rotation mechanism. I'll get back to you later.

 

Unfortunately we no longer have a backup of the server from the HyperVisor so we are left with the backups created by the update script. Our best guess is that we ran the following version at the time:

//** Application
define('ISPC_APP_TITLE', 'ISPConfig');
define('ISPC_APP_VERSION', '3.0.5.4p8');
define('DEVSYSTEM', 0);

Is this of any help ?

 

Hello again.
Sure, here is the vhost file which is untouched by human hand:

- Well, I did replace the domains as you suggested, but the content has been generated.

 

Was it of any help ?
