I have a WSGI-app (a Django project) running under gunicorn on 127.0.0.1:18731
and I use Apache with mod_proxy to redirect requests from http://example.com/my-project/*
to http://127.0.0.1:18731/*
. Static files are stored outside of /my-project/
. If the Django app does not need to redirect anything, this works just fine, but if it tries to redirect a request (e.g. to add a trailing slash to http://example.com/my-project/foo
), it ends up removing /my-project/
from the URL, leaving me with the invalid URL http://example.com/foo/
.
My mod_proxy configuration is as follows:
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyRequests On
ProxyPass /my-project/ http://127.0.0.1:18731/ retry=0
ProxyPassReverse /my-project/ http://127.0.0.1:18731/ retry=0
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyErrorOverride Off
I do not want to force Django to prefix /my-project/
to all of its URLs, in the interest of portability. Apache should apparently be handling the prefix on its own with the ProxyPassReverse
line. What am I doing wrong?
I had this problem to.
ProxyPreserveHost On
<Location "/my-project/">
ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:18173/my-project/
ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:18173/my-project/
RequestHeader set SCRIPT_NAME /my-project
RequestHeader set X-FORWARDED-PROTOCOL ssl
RequestHeader set X-FORWARDED-SSL on
</Location>
To enable the WSGI app to construct an absolute url we need:
ProxyPreserveHost On
, so the Host:
header gets passed and the app knows the Hostname the client sees us at.
- Add a
SCRIPT_NAME
header so the app knows where its root is.
- Set
X-FORWARDED-
headers as needed. I'm using ssl too, so I have to tell the app it should use the https
scheme.
I use <Location>
directives, because I do a lot more stuff on this vhost. But you can easily rewrite this by passing path
arguments to the ProxyPass
and ProxyPassReverse
directives.
NB: ProxyRequests
should be Off, unless you want a forward proxy too. If you're reading this you probably only want a reversed proxy.
Django specific note: settings.LOGIN_URL
is used as is, so you'll need to prepend the SCRIPT_NAME
to it yourself.
Did you try this? I added my-project to the url you are proxying too.
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyRequests On
ProxyPass /my-project/ http://127.0.0.1:18731/my-project/ retry=0
ProxyPassReverse /my-project/ http://127.0.0.1:18731/my-project/ retry=0
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyErrorOverride Off
I normally use nginx for this sort of thing, so I'm not sure if that will work or not.
Update: the above didn't work so trying something else.
Try something like this and see if that helps. It is setup a little different. It proxies everything except media which is served via an alias. This remove the need to have /my-project/ at all.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
UseCanonicalName On
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
LogLevel warn
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/example.com/access.log combined
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/example.com/error.log
ServerSignature On
Alias /media/ /home/example/example.com/pysrc/project/media/
ProxyPass /media/ !
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:18731/
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:18731/
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyErrorOverride Off
</VirtualHost>
I have solved the original problem by setting the ProxyPassReverse config to the actual domain name:
ProxyPass /my-project/ http://127.0.0.1:18731/
ProxyPassReverse /my-project/ http://mydomain.com/
Hint: Apache ProxyPassReverse values
