💬 Question

Hello,

i installed cypht on a virtual machine on Ubuntu 18.04 Server with running apache.
This is my apache-config on the vm:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName  cypht.example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mail

    # Logging
    # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, alert, emerg.
    LogLevel  warn
    ErrorLog  /var/log/apache2/shaarli-error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/shaarli-access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

And this is my apache config-file on the root server running apache proxy:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName cypht.example.com
        ServerAlias cypht.example.com
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        #ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        #CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

        Redirect permanent / https://cypht.example.com

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
        # Host-Einstellungen
        ServerName cypht.example.com
        ServerAlias cypht.example.com
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        # SSL
        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile      /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/cert.pem
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem
        # SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/chain.pem
        # Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf


        # System-Einstellungen
        LogLevel warn
        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

        # Anwendungsspezifisch
        RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"
        ProxyPreserveHost On

        # Proxy
        SSLProxyEngine On
        ProxyPass               /       http://192.168.2.107
        ProxyPassReverse        /       http://192.168.2.107

</VirtualHost>
# vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet

Now my problem: if i visit cypht.example.com it returns html markup but it cannot access css and i cannot login (login combination wrong).

See this screenshot:

Maybe someone can help me configure my root-apache-proxy? Maybe the problem is behind the https connection?

The app is working when i add 192.168.2.107 cypht.example.com in the hosts file of the client machine.

I already setted
disable_origin_check=true
and
cookie_domain=cypth.example.com
in my cypht configuration, it doesnt helped me.

Thanks, sorry for my bad english skills lol

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName cypht.example.com
        ServerAlias cypht.example.com
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        #ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

        Redirect permanent / https://cypht.example.com

        ProxyPass               /       http://192.168.2.107/
        ProxyPassReverse        /       http://192.168.2.107/

</VirtualHost>
# vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet

ok, but now, after login, it doesnt redirects me, it just reloads the login without any error-message. any help?

Edit: Solved, i just had a typo in /hm3.ini
You see it? cookie_domain=cypth.example.com
It must be: cookie_domain=cypht.example.com

issue can be closed :)

Glad to hear you got it sorted out. Thanks for posting your config, could be a useful reference for others!
