JIRA behind Apache not working as Configured

Sita Rama Krish
Sita Rama Krishna December 14, 2011

We installed 64bit Confluence and 32bit JIRA on WIndows Server 2008 R2 with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 as the Database.

both JIRA and Confluence are working fine when we access them using localhost.

Then we installed Apache and modified the httpd configuration file as show 

NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName confluence.xyz.org

ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>

ProxyPass / http://localhost:9090/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:9090/
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName jira.xyz.org 
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>

ProxyPass / http://localhost:7080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:7080/
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>
</VirtualHost>

now when access confluence using the url confluence.xyz.org it works perfectly but when we do the same for JIRA at jira.xyz.org we are getting error

We've detected a potential problem with JIRA's Dashboard configuration that your administrator can correct. Hide
Dashboard Diagnostics: Mismatched URL Hostname
JIRA is reporting that it is running on the hostname 'localhost', which does not match the hostname used to run these diagnostics, 'jira.xyz.org'. This is known to cause JIRA to construct URLs using the incorrect hostname, which will result in errors in the dashboard, among other issues.
The most common cause of this is the use of a reverse-proxy HTTP server (often Apache or IIS) in front of the application server running JIRA. While this configuration is supported, some additional setup might be necessary in order to ensure that JIRA detects the correct hostname.
The following articles describe the issue and the steps you should take to ensure that your web server and app server are configured correctly:
Gadgets do not display correctly after upgrade to JIRA 4.0
Integrating JIRA with Apache
Integrating JIRA with Apache using SSL
If you believe this diagnosis is in error, or you have any other questions, please contact Atlassian Support.

We have changed the url to jira.xyz.org in the JIRA general Configuration page also


as soon as we login after ignoring this error the url in the browser automatically changes to localhost from jira.xyz.org

We tried that but no use the problem still remains. Insted of using Apache, we tried IIS and it is working fine. so althought the problem with Apache is still there but we have moved to IIS and are not troubled with this issue anymore.

Hi there,


 


Please add the directive below in apache virtual host and give it another try:


ProxyPreserveHost On 


 


This should do the trick about the canonical url.


 


Regards,


Celso Yoshioka

Sounds like you need to add the proxyhost and proxyport to the Connector element in your servlet config. If you don't then ServletRequest.getServerName will report the server name you are proxying to, ie localhost.


More info here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/proxy-howto.html.
