[support] How to configure Drupal with reverse proxy (Apache 2.2 with mod_proxy)

[Ivan Goretha]

Hi,

I have a project that requires a reverse proxy server be installed in front of Drupal.
I have set the following parameters in settings.php in Drupal:

$base_url = 'http://www.mywebsite.com';
$conf = array(
   'reverse_proxy' => TRUE,
   'reverse_proxy_addresses' => array('192.168.1.1', ),
 );


where 192.168.1.1 is the IP address of www.mywebsite.com.
The IP address of Drupal is 192.168.1.2 and the IP address of the database is 192.168.1.3.
Drupal and database servers can't be accessed from public.

When I go to http://www.mywebsite.com, I can see Drupal log in page.
However I am unable to login from this page.
After I enter my username and password and click Submit, I will be returned to the same page.
However if I go to http://192.168.1.2 website directly, I can login like usual.

Proxy config on Apache (webserver):





<IfModule mod_proxy.c>


ProxyRequests Off


ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.2/


ProxyHTMLURLMap http://192.168.1.2 /





<Location />


   ProxyPassReverse /


   SetOutputFilter proxy-html


   ProxyHTMLURLMap / /


   RequestHeader unset Accept-Encoding


</Location>





ProxyHTMLLogVerbose On





</IfModule>

Does anybody know how to get around this problem?
Any advice will be really appreciated.
Thanks!

Regards,
Ivan
