Apache/Mongrel/Redmine installation problem (VirtualHost/ProxyPass)
- by Riddler
I am installing Redmine as per this step-by-step instruction: http://justnotes.co.cc/2010/02/11/how-to-install-redmine-on-ubuntu/
I am using Ubuntu 10.04.1, Apache 2.2.14, Mongrel 1.1.5.
On the VirtualHost configuration stage, I am using this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName myserver.lv
ProxyPass /redmine/ http://localhost:8000/
ProxyPassReverse /redmine/ http://localhost:8000
ProxyPreserveHost on
<Proxy *>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Proxy>
</VirtualHost>
But, when I direct my browser to http://<my-server's-ip>/redmine/ what I see is not the redmine web application but "Index of /redmine" with, well, index of the files from the root directory of Redmine.
Any idea how to fix that?
P.S. Tried removing the VirtualHost stuff alltogether and instead adding the following simple clauses to apache2.conf:
<Proxy *>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /redmine/ http://localhost:8000/
ProxyPassReverse /redmine/ http://localhost:8000/
ProxyPreserveHost on
As a result, the behavior changes! Now http://<my-server's-ip>/redmine/ produces the source code of the Redmine's start page, so it is served, but apparently not rendered. At the same time, still, http://<my-server's-ip>:8000/ works perfectly fine, so Mongrel is serving the Redmine application as it should, it's just that something is wrong with my VirtualHost/proxying clauses in the .conf file.
