Web Scripts behind nginx SSL reverse proxy

madjic — Thu, 13 Oct 2016 13:39:35 GMT

I'm trying to do a manual install of Alfresco Community Edition 201609 EA on tomcat8.solr4 is throwing all kinds of errors, so I refrained deploying solr4.war on tomcat. My plan is to fix that if the other stuff is up and running, unless solr is the reason for my problemsAfter lots of head-scratchin

Your URL has an extra 's' in it. You typed /alfresco/ss/index but it should be /alfresco/s/index.

Except I didn't

My browser is pointing to /alfresco/s/index, but something (nginx?) seems to rewrite it.

I thought the /ss/ was some kind of internal URL, but now I have something to work with

edit:

I noticed the link leads me to https://cms.url.tld/alfresco/s/%2Falfresco%2Fss%2Findex, that's of course totally wrong

Found the problem, missing / after location /alfresco/

nginx.conf:

        location /alfresco/ {
                root /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/alfresco/;
               proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
               proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
               proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
               proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
               proxy_http_version 1.1;
                proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/alfresco/;
                proxy_redirect http:// https://;
                #allow all;
        }

Hi Matthias,

Thanks for your post.

I applied the same configuration and the nginx reverse proxy works with ssl.

Now, I'm trying to use the mobile application (Alfresco Content Services) but it doesn't work.

Have you try to use it ? If yes can you explain me how fix the connection issue ?

Thanks in advance.
