Django running on Apache+WSGI and apache SSL proxying
- by Lessfoe
Hi all,
I'm trying to rewrite all requests for my Django server running on apache+WSGI ( inside my local network) and configured as the WSGI's wiki how to, except that I set a virtualhost for it.
The server which from I want to rewrite requests is another apache server listening on port
80. I can manage it to work well if I don't try to enable SSL connection as the required way to connect.
But I need all requests to Django server encrypted with SSL so I generally used this directive to achieve this ( on my public webserver ):
Alias /dirname "/var/www/dirname"
SSLVerifyClient none
SSLOptions +FakeBasicAuth
SSLRequireSSL
AuthName "stuff name"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/djangoserver.passwd
require valid-user
# redirect all request to django.test:80
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://django.test/$1 [P]
This configuration works if I try to load a specific page trough the external server from my browser. It is not working clicking my django application urls ( even tough the url seems correct when I put my mouse over).
The url my public server is trying to serve use http ( instead of https ) and the directory "dirname" I specified on my apache configuration disappear, so it says that the page was not found. I think it depends on Django and its WSGI handler . Does anybody went trough my same problem?
PS: I have already tried to modify the WSGI script . I'm Using Django 1.0.3, Apache 2.2 on a Fedora10 (inside), Apache 2.2 on the public server.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Fab
