signin redirect doesn't work from behind Apache proxy

Added by Craig Yoshioka about 11 years ago

I installed redmine 2.3 using nginx+passenger on a new server under the base uri /redmine. Everything works fine when accessing this server directly.

I then proxied to this server from our externally accessible Apache server, also under /redmine.

Everything works fine when using redmine through the proxy server except that the redirect on login is broken. Can't figure out how to fix this.

I added this line to my apache config:

ProxyPass         /redmine    http://charon.nimgs.com/redmine

I think Apache is doing something funny with escaping the proxied URL? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

hi,

Warming up

We will first need to install basic packages:

apt-get install ruby rubygems libruby libapache2-mod-passenger ruby-dev

Download the latest version of Redmine (2.1.2 in our case) and untar it, then move it to /usr/local/share

cd /usr/local/share/
wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/76495/redmine-2.1.2.tar.gz
tar -xzvf redmine-2.1.2.tar.gz
ln -s /usr/local/share/redmine-2.1.2 /usr/local/share/redmine
chown -R root:root /usr/local/share/redmine-2.1.2

Install development libraries for MySQL and Imagick:

apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev (install shitload of packages)

Edit
Running the Gem stuff

Install Bundler (removing useless module, which would otherwise create dependencies):

gem install bundler
cd /usr/local/share/redmine/
bundle install --without development test postgresql sqlite

Edit
Creating the database

On a new installation you need to create the database and a user for redmine.
Open a mysql command prompt:

mysql -u root -p

At the mysql prompt enter the mysql commands:

create user 'redmine' identified by 'redmine';
set password for 'redmine''localhost' = password('my_password'); grant all on *.* to 'redmine''localhost';
create database redmine;
quit;

Edit
Configuration

Copy config/database.yml.example to config/database.yml and edit this file in order to configure your database settings for "production" environment.
Example for a MySQL database using ruby1.8 or jruby:

production:
adapter: mysql2 (note: For Rails < 3.1 use mysql instead of mysql2)
database: redmine
host: localhost
username: redmine
password: my_password

Generate a session store secret:

rake generate_secret_token

Generate the database structure:

RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate

Generate default configuration data:

RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine:load_default_data

(using “es” for Spanish language in terminal prompt)

Setup config file in config/configuration.yml

Change database_ciphr_key: *

rake db:encrypt RAILS_ENV=production

Edit
Apache

Setup Apache’s VirtualHost config

8080 in this case is because we use a reverse proxy before Apache. Otherwise simply use "*:80"

<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName redmine.example.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/share/redmine/public
<Directory /usr/local/share/redmine/public>
AllowOverride all
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Once you enable this virtual host (a2ensite redmine.example.com) and reload Apache (apache2ctl graceful), you should see your site running on http://redmine.example.com.

The default login/password is admin/admin (don't forget to change this).
