WebIDE won't open

xaner4 · September 2, 2018, 12:41pm

Hey
I have an Gitlab 11.2.3 (06cbee3) server running in Docker behind an Apache Revers proxy,
but when I try to open Web-IDE in projects i get

Error while loading the project data. Please try again.

Do some one know how to fix this or can help me debug why this happend?

ariel.barria · September 2, 2018, 8:09pm

Hello,
Can you place the nginx configuration? Are you using proxy_pass?
at the moment that gitlab sends that error, what error appears in the ngnix log?

xaner4 · September 2, 2018, 9:06pm

Do you mean Apache config? and if you want Gitlab Nginx config, where do I find it?
If you mean Apache, her you go

        ServerName git.example.org

And when i opens the Web-IDE the gitlab Nginx Log puts out

ariel.barria · September 3, 2018, 3:54pm

Yes, sorry, I was referring to Apache.
If you try to navigate the source code?, see the contents of a file in the project.

In my case it happened that I wanted to see a file code.java and tried to show it but it sent me that error, the fact was that when doing proxy_pass in the gitlab the path/location that was used was not found.

Possibly you can see it in the apache log.

lhaig · September 7, 2018, 7:20am

I have the same issue with my installation.

I have not figured out the best way to debug this yet

I hope we find a clue

xaner4 · September 7, 2018, 10:56am

I have tried looking in the log files for both my apache reverse proxy and for the Gitlab Nginx and haven’t found any thing useful information on why it happens yet

ariel.barria · September 7, 2018, 2:14pm

a question, if you access directly in the second url, without using the reverse proxy, does it work?

xaner4 · September 10, 2018, 8:28am

When I try to open the WebIDE without using the reverse proxy it works fine.

xaner4 · September 22, 2018, 9:33pm

Do some one have some ideas to fix this?

ariel.barria · October 15, 2018, 4:50pm

sorry for delay.

Can you try to eliminate the backslash of the end?

ProxyPass / https://192.168.1.20/

ProxyPass / https://192.168.1.20

xaner4 · October 19, 2018, 10:34am

it’s okay I have been too busy myself to test it anyway

I tried to eliminate the backslash of the ProxyPass but than I just got this message

# Proxy Error

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
 The proxy server could not handle the request *[GET /users/sign_in](https://git.example.com/users/sign_in)* .

Reason: **DNS lookup failure for: 192.168.1.20users**

ariel.barria · October 19, 2018, 8:48pm

Can you apply the suggestion?

xaner4 · October 19, 2018, 11:48pm

Thanks, @ariel.barria that fixed it

Wow after all this time at it was that easy
Just needed to add nocanon at the end of proxypass and AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode like this

   ProxyPass / https://192.168.1.20/ nocanon
   AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode

Sh4d0w · January 12, 2019, 6:08pm

Hello,
I have the same issue on my docker machine.
I have a apache config:

ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:9001/
ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:9001/
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto “https”

The
nocanon
AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode
Options I tried without success…

Sh4d0w · May 2, 2019, 4:41am

Here is my current, NOT WORKING code…

ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:9001/ nocanon
ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:9001/ nocanon
AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"

Sh4d0w · August 29, 2019, 9:02am

Anyone an idea to fix?

xaner4 · August 29, 2019, 9:55pm

sorry for the super late answer @Sh4d0w , can you send the complete Apache virtualhost config file?
I will have a look and test out your config when I have time to test it and see if i can find a solution for you

Sh4d0w · August 30, 2019, 7:43am

Hello @xaner4,

thanks for your answer.

I have installed Docker and the Gitlab inside on my productive webserver with an apache.

I can open Gitlab first with my IP and Port f.e. 1.2.3.4:9001 and second via the vhost and a subdomain like gitlab.mydomain.de.

BOTH runs into an error, so the trouble is not only the vhost. BUT the errors are different.

This is my current vhost:

ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:9001/
ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:9001/
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto “https”

But also with the nocanon and AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode things found in web it is not working.

Sh4d0w · May 23, 2020, 6:08am

Hello,

in new 13.0.0 the WebIDE works if I browse only IP:PORT

But not with my Apache Vhost. Same error and I think its only a redirect/header thing in the vhost:

ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:9001/ nocanon
ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:9001/ nocanon
AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto “https”

rezepoge · April 12, 2021, 3:25pm

Hello,

the following config works for me:

RequestHeader set Host “[gitlab-host]”
RequestHeader add X-Forwarded-Ssl on
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-For %{REMOTE_ADDR}e
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto “https”

ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://localhost:[PORT]/ nocanon
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:[PORT]/
AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode
