Using proxypass with cacti breaks in page layout

  • 772

I'm trying to setup proxypass to map http://status.site.com/cacti to http://othersite.com:8080/cacti, but without mapping the whole /.

Here the conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName status.site.com
   ProxyRequests Off                                                                                                 


    ProxyPass             /cacti/       http://othersite.com:8080/cacti/                                            
    ProxyPassReverse      /cacti/       http://othersite.com:8080/cacti/                                            
    ProxyPreserveHost On                                                                        

</VirtualHost>

Now this works for the most part except for http://status.site.com/cacti/graph_view.php The tree like menu on the left hand side gets broken, the whole menu is expanded and there's no collapse/expand possibility. Also the menuitems are unclickable (yet correct links are shown when hovered over with the pointer).

With ProxyPass / http://othersite.com:8080/ this doesn't happen and everything works. How are those two approaches handled differently? I've tried various combinations with ProxyHTMLURLMap but no success.

  1. Remove the trailing slash...

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName status.site.com
    ProxyRequests Off                                                                                                 


    ProxyPass             /cacti       http://othersite.com:8080/cacti                                            
    ProxyPassReverse      /cacti       http://othersite.com:8080/cacti
    ProxyPreserveHost On                                                                        
</VirtualHost>

  2. I found that creating another proxy entry for /javascript solved the problem for me. So it would look something like this.

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName status.site.com
    ProxyRequests Off  

    ProxyPass             /cacti         http://othersite.com:8080/cacti                                            
    ProxyPassReverse      /cacti         http://othersite.com:8080/cacti
    ProxyPass             /javascript    http://othersite.com:8080/javascript
    ProxyPassReverse      /javascript    http://othersite.com:8080/javascript

    ProxyPreserveHost On                                                                        
</VirtualHost>
