Trouble: css 1150 vs. apache mod_proxy

veronica.g — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 00:13:28 GMT

Hello,

I configured a server Apache http as the frontend which receives requests from customers and in turn forwards through the module (mod_proxy) a container with two services (http servers) configured in a css 11500. mod_proxy used persistence on the connections to backends (ccs vp).

After much operate properly are presented to customers error http 503 (service not available). Through a review and sniffer detects that the Apache mod_proxy does not close connections (half-close) or closed many minutes later.

What changes do recommend on CSS to be compatible with Apache mod_proxy?

I presume you are talking about using SSL between the reverse proxy and

the backend? (generally SSL is not really necessary in such

configurations)

Do you have "SSLProxyEngine On" configured?

Obvious question: Is port 443 open on the intermediate FW?

But a quick check on google (hint, hint...) reveals this is the error =

you get when trying to pass through a proxy with an HTTP method that is =

not supported by the proxy.

Check out this message and the faq link therein (it's about subversion =

but it's the same problem).

http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2002-06/1638.shtml

In your case, the client must use the CONNECT method to tell the proxy =

to pass the requests directly to the internal server. For this to work =

you need:

- mod_proxy_connect (not just mod_proxy)

- AllowCONNECT 443 (or not present - this is the default)

see

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html#allowconnect

for details.
