I have Tomcat running on port 8080, and when I send a request directly to Tomcat it works fine:
curl -IL http://localhost:8080/myapp
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Location: http://localhost:8080/myapp/
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Location: http://localhost:8080/myapp/login.html
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
I have the following mod_proxy setup in Apache:
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost on
ProxyPass /myapp http://localhost:8080/myapp retry=0
ProxyPassReverse /myapp http://localhost:8080/myapp retry=0
When I make a request that goes through the proxy, I get a 404 from Tomcat. The headers say Apache-Coyote, so I know it's going through the proxy and reaching Tomcat.
curl -LI https://myserver.com/myapp
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
I enabled the access log in Tomcat to see what the problem is, and Tomcat's access log is logging any requests that go directly to port 8080, but it isn't logging any requests that go through Apache.
If Apache is mangling the request or something, I would like to see the evidence of that in Tomcat's log. Can anyone tell me how to get Tomcat to log 404's that go through the proxy the same as it logs 404's that don't go through the proxy?
EDIT I also noticed that the 404 only happens when ProxyPreserveHost on
is part of the config. If I remove it, the proxy works exactly as expected. But I do need the proxy to pass along the hostname to Tomcat.
EDIT I have now set LogLevel Debug, which shows the full proxy connection in the error log. Unfortunately I'm still not seeing where the 404 came from, but here's the connection:
