ProxyPass not working

03 Jul 2014, 06:32

Hi all,

I have the following doubt:

Is it required to install ARR in IIS7.0 to make ProxyPass work?
ARR = Application Request Routing -> http://www.iis.net/learn/extensions/planning-for-arr/application-request-routing-version-2-overview

I have two days spent in trying to work ProxyPass without success.
I always get a 404 response.

Thanks.

Hello, I see that my case is exactly the same as the user fultotop posted here http://www.helicontech.com/community/Reverse_Proxy_Issue-8-3102.html
All seems to works fine (htaccess normal rules, 301 redirections, ...) but ProxyPass always returns a 404 response.

My log show the same:

Code: Select all
[2014-07-03 09:32:19.357] [proxy] (debug) [/] request to http://www.google.com/


Do you solved that issue with the other user? or really there exists a problem with ProxyPass?

I can give you access to my dedicated server if you need.

We are trying to solve the ProxyPass issue with support in a internal support ticket.

I will post the results here for future reference.

(SOLVED) ProxyPass not working

13 Aug 2014, 13:01

Hello again,

At the end the problem was that plesk introduces a tag <clear /> in the configuration handlers section of applicationHost.config file, which apparently nullifies the handler "Helicon.Ape Handler".

In my case it was solved by adding the handler definition line "Helicon.Ape Handler" just behind the tag <clear />, for example:

Code: Select all
    <location path="mydomain.com">
        <system.webServer>
            <handlers accessPolicy="Read, Script">
                <clear />
                <add name="Helicon.Ape Handler" path="*.apehandler" verb="*" type="Helicon.Ape.Handler, Helicon.Ape, Version=3.1.0.135, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=95bfbfd1a38437eb" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="integratedMode" />
                (...another handlers)


With that change proxypass works perfectly for my web site :D :D :D

I hope this helps someone.
