Redirecting behind a proxy leads to localhost address

[Ron Gross]

I have a Play server behind an Apache frontend with mod-proxy acting as a reverse proxy.

In Secure module, I'm getting to this method with `url == null`:

    static void redirectToOriginalURL() throws Throwable {

        Security.invoke("onAuthenticated");

        String url = flash.get("url");

        if(url == null) {

            url = "/";

        }

        redirect(url);

    }

Now, even though I am browsing to http://mysite.com/prefix/secure/login, after a successful login I am redirected to http://localhost:9000/ - for some reason I'm switched to my own personal dev server instead of the production server. What could be the cause, and how to fix?

Have you read
http://www.playframework.org/documentation/1.2.4/production#SetupwithApache

and changed your setup that way?

Thanks, I added the missing elements to my setup and this solved my problem.

Had this same issue with nginx. Did you set the ProxyPass and
ProxyPassReverse in Apache?

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html

<Proxy *>Order deny,allowAllow from all</Proxy>
ProxyPass /foo http://foo.example.com/barProxyPassReverse /foo
http://foo.example.com/bar

This is the gist of the nginx configuration:

location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
proxy_redirect http://127.0.0.1:8080 http://www.example.com;
}

I followed the instructions to the letter (don't remember the exact config right now, can check if you want).

tl;dr:

I'm not a big Apache guy - I used the default Apache config, and it worked well except for this glitch, and when I applied the recommended settings from the play framework page, it worked flawlessly.
