[mapguide-users] Problem with the dwf viewer and a reverse proxy.

2009-12-04 Thread Nick Sebastyan
Greetings all, 

 Information's :
 I use mapguide open source 2.02.
 The mapguide server is behind a firewall and it is accessed from a proxy 
using  apache server. 
       Example:  #mapguide
                            ProxyPass /mapguide 
http://mapguideserver:8008/mapguide
                            ProxyPassReverse /mapguide 
http://mapguideserver:8008/mapguide
  External access url : http://mapguideexternalalias/mapguide

Problem :
 The dwf viewer does not display the map, it displays all the other frames 
correctly, i.e tbFrame, taskFrame and from the mapFrame only the    
 Layers  and Properties panes. The ajax viewer works perfectly. 
 I have noticed in the logs of the apache server that the dwf viewer tries 
to access directly the server that is behind the                                
               firewall,  http://mapguideserver:8008/mapguide,  not the 
alias that is configured in the proxy,  http://mapguideexternalalias/mapguide. 
    This happens only one time when the dwf viewer tries to get the map. 

Request:
  Does anyone have a solution or a hint or something that my help ?

Thanks.

We've had the same problem.

Our solution was to modify two values inside mapguide-apache httpd.conf.

ServerName should be your mapguideexternalalias (the URL of the
apache that is configured to access mapguide via proxy)
UseCanonicalName should be On

In this way self-referencing URL will be constructed using ServerName

Gabriele
