Web UI is loading when configuring Archiva behind Reverse Proxy

  • 772

I have setup both archiva and httpd on Ubuntu 22.04 for testing.

Apache Archiva version: 2.2.9
Apache HTTP Server: 2.4.52

The VirtualHost configuration:

<VirtualHost _default_:443>
    ProxyPass "/test/" "http://192.168.1.1:8080/"
    ProxyPassReverse "/test/" "http://192.168.1.1:8080/"
</VirtualHost>

HTTP Server URL: https://my.example.com/test/
Archiva Server URL: http://192.168.1.1:8080/

When using Firefox to open the http://192.168.1.1:8080/ directly, then the whole Archiva UI can show up normally.

When using Firefox to open the https://my.example.com/test/, Firefox can show the title as "Apache Archiva" but the Web Content not showing up, it only shows the "Loading"...

enter image description here

What's missing in the VirtualHost for making the Archiva to work with Reverse Proxy?

Update: Here is the view source from Firefox:

view-source:https://my.example.com/test/

<html>
  <head>

    <script type="text/javascript" data-main="js/archiva/archiva.js" src="js/require.min.2.1.11.js"></script>

    <title>Apache Archiva</title>

  </head>
...

view-source:https://my.example.com/test/js/archiva/archiva.js

requirejs(['jquery','jquery.tmpl','jquery.ui','i18n','sammy','startup','utils','domReady!','archiva.main','archiva.cookie-information'], function () {
        loadi18n(function () {
          $.ajax({
            url: "restServices/archivaUiServices/runtimeInfoService/archivaRuntimeInfo/"+usedLang(),
            dataType: 'json',
            success:function(data){
              window.archivaDevMode=data.devMode;
              window.archivaJavascriptLog=data.javascriptLog;
              window.archivaRuntimeInfo=data;

              window.cookieInformation=mapCookieInformation(data.cookieInformation);

              require(['sammy','jquery','jquery.ui','i18n','jquery.tmpl','archiva.main','utils','domReady!'],function () {
                  startArchivaApplication();
                  $("#loadingDiv").hide();
                  drawQuickSearchAutocomplete();
              })
            }
          })
        });
      });

From the view source, Firefox can get the correct html content from Archiva 8080 server, but it can't activate the js function "loadi18n", the "$("#loadingDiv").hide();" is not executed at all.

The "js/archiva/archiva.js" in Archiva can't work as expected in reverse proxy mode for unknown reason.

    Listen 8080

<VirtualHost *:8080>
        ServerName my.example.com/test/

        SSLEngine On
        SSLCertificateFile    /path/to/apache_certs/cert.pem
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/apache_certs/cert.key

        ProxyRequests     Off
        ProxyPass         /  http://localhost:8080/
        ProxyPassReverse  /  http://localhost:8080/
        <Proxy http://localhost:8080/*>
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Proxy>
        ProxyPreserveHost on
</VirtualHost>

    Run this command to configure two apache mods

    sudo a2enmod proxy proxy_http
