[users@httpd] Apache Reverse Proxy Server Accessing backend https through front https server

[Ruiyuan Jiang]

Hi, all

I have a Apache reverse proxy server (v2.2.17). There is a web server with 
backend https server. When internet users access the sit, they use 
http://sitename and then get redirected to https://sitename. The configuration 
is in the httpd-vhosts.conf

<Virtualhost sitename:80>
        ServerName      sitename
        Redirect /      https://sitename/dir1/dir2/login
</Virtualhost>

In my httpd-ssl.conf, for the same site I have:

<Virtualhost sitename:443>
        ServerName      sitename
        SSLEngine on
        SSLProxyEngine on       
        ....
        Proxypass /             https://backend/
        ProxyPassReverse /      https://backend/
</Virtualhost>


Now I get a new request that when the internet users use https://sitename 
besides http://sitename, users should be able to access the site too.

I modified the virtual server in httpd-vhosts.conf:

<Virtualhost sitename:80>
        ServerName      sitename
        Redirect /      https://backend/
</Virtualhost>

In httpd-ssl.conf:

<Virtualhost sitename:443>
        ServerName sitename
        SSLEngine on
        SSLProxyEngine on
        ...
        Proxypass /             https://backend/ dir1/dir2/login
        ProxyPassReverse /      https://backend/ dir1/dir2/login
</Virtualhost>

When I accessed the site through either http or https, I saw in error log:

GET /   HTTP/1.1" 302 178
GET /dir1/dir2/login HTTP/1.1" 404 -


On my IE browser, when I accessed the site through http and https, I saw the 
same message:

The error (HTTP 404 Not Found) was able to connect to the website, but the page 
you wanted was not found.

Thanks.
