Dear all,
I have a similar problem as the one described in http://forum.gitlab.com/t/gitlab-and-nginx-as-a-reverse-proxy/4617: My apache2 reverse proxy https://www.example.com/gitlab/ redirects to https://www.example.com/users/sign_in instead of https://www.example.com/gitlab/users/sign_in. Browsing directly to https://www.example.com/gitlab/users/sign_in works fine for the login, but then I’m again automatically redirected to https://www.example.com/ (which of course fails). If I then add the “/gitlab/” part manually everything works from then on and all links are correct.
My apache2 proxy configuration for this is:
<Location /gitlab>
ProxyHTMLEnable on
ProxyHTMLExtended on
ProxyHTMLLinks a href
ProxyHTMLLinks area href
ProxyHTMLLinks link href
ProxyHTMLLinks img src longdesc usemap
ProxyHTMLLinks object classid codebase data usemap
ProxyHTMLLinks q cite
ProxyHTMLLinks blockquote cite
ProxyHTMLLinks ins cite
ProxyHTMLLinks del cite
ProxyHTMLLinks form action
ProxyHTMLLinks input src usemap
ProxyHTMLLinks head profile
ProxyHTMLLinks base href
ProxyHTMLLinks script src for
ProxyHTMLURLMap https://our.gitlab.server/ /gitlab/
ProxyHTMLURLMap / /gitlab/
ProxyPass https://our.gitlab.server/
ProxyPassReverse https://our.gitlab.server/
</Location>
I know, that using the same “prefix” /gitlab/ also on the GitLab server side would work, but this is what we explicitely don’t want. For me it looks as if all headers and link rewritings work fine with the exception of the first redirection and the redirection directly after login. How can I fix these two redirections, so that they are rewritten correctly, too?
Apache version is 2.4, GitLab is version 8.17.0.
