Anyone using SugarCRM behind a reverse proxy?

[dhagberg]

We currently have an instance of SugarCRM installed on an intranet (internal network) machine, but our roving users need/want to access it remotely.

I have set up Apache 2.0 as a reverse proxy, providing access to the internal machine such that it's visible to the external world over a secure (https) URL.

The problem is that, even with mod_proxy_html rewriting HTML urls, there are still several portions of SugarCRM that do not seem to work -- certain selections and other items. Is there some JavaScript magic going on that is outside of HTML links or form submissions that are normally handled by mod_proxy_html?

Does anyone have a valid configuration of a reverse proxy providing access to an internal SugarCRM instance that is fully-functional? What additional steps did you have to take?

Basic outline of the relevant sections of my current Apache configuration (names/IPs changed to protect the innocent):

# 
# Virtual Host for crm.answeron.com SSL
#
<VirtualHost 99.99.99.99:443>
  ServerName 99.99.99.99:443
[. . .]
  <Proxy *>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
  </Proxy>

  ProxyPass /sugarcrm/ http://10.20.0.31:6080/sugarcrm/
  ProxyPassReverse /sugarcrm/ http://10.20.0.31:6080/sugarcrm/
  ProxyPassReverse /sugarcrm/ http://sugarcrm-lan:6080/sugarcrm/
  ProxyPassReverse /sugarcrm/ http://sugarcrm-lan.mydomain.com:6080/sugarcrm/
  ProxyHTMLURLMap http://10.20.0.31:6080/sugarcrm /sugarcrm
  ProxyHTMLURLMap http://sugarcrm-lan:6080/sugarcrm /sugarcrm
  ProxyHTMLURLMap http://sugarcrm-lan.mydomain.com:6080/sugarcrm /sugarcrm
  ProxyHTMLLogVerbose On

  <Location /sugarcrm/>
    ProxyPassReverse /
    SetOutputFilter proxy-html
    ProxyHTMLURLMap /sugarcrm/ /sugarcrm/
    RequestHeader unset Accept-Encoding
  </Location>
[. . .]
</VirtualHost>

I migrate my web server behind a reverse proxy a few days ago.

I have the same problem

I fix it (I think it's fixed !)

I only put in my reverse proxy apache

<VirtualHost ....>

ServerName ...
ProxyPass ...
ProxyPAssReverse ...

</VirtualHost>

AND

I modify the site_url value in my config.php in the SugarCrm directory to put the value './'

With theses values my SugarCrm seems to work completely.

Do the same test and say us if it's OK for you.

I apologize for my bad English.

The fix works very well for my configuration behind a reverse proxy.
The problem was obvious in the "schedule meeting" page for example (the rest seemed to work)

Thanks
