Server Admin's proxy configuration... whacked? (Doesn't seem to work)

I just upgraded to Apache2 so that I could, sensibly, use the Server Admin app to manage all my web sites. Previously, my various httpd conf files were too complicated and I had resorted to hand coding them.
The good news is Server Admin and Apache2 are much closer to functional.
One bit of bad news: I can't get the reverse proxies to work consistently. Once set up, I get the most peculiar mix of success and failure -- almost at random. For example, some URIs load; others don't; sometimes a page loads, but it's style sheet doesn't.
What I want is simply this:
*/confluence (proxy to) localhost:8081/confluence
Using hand-edited config files, I'd usually do something along these lines (and this works great, by the way, if I stick it into 0000any_80www.mydomain.com.conf:
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPassReverse /confluence http://localhost:8081/confluence
ProxyPass /confluence http://localhost:8081/confluence
So, off to Server Admin to make this work. I tried checking "Enable Reverse Proxy" and specifying a Proxy Path of "/confluence" and a Worker URL of http://localhost:8081/confluence. This ended up created the following entry in my 0000_...conf file:
<IfModule modproxybalancer.c>
ProxyPass /confluence balancer://balancer-group/
ProxyPassReverse /confluence balancer://balancer-group/
<Proxy "balancer://balancer-group">
BalancerMember http://localhost:8081/confluence
</Proxy>
</IfModule>
I wasn't able to figure out what a Sticky Session Identifier, Route or Load Factor would be used for... so I left those blank. Perhaps that's why it's not working... sure would be nice if there was some help in Server Admin...
Hm. Anyhow, Ok, looks alright. I'm not totally sure about the balancer bits (like why they are there), but I don't see why it wouldn't work. But... IT DOES NOT. I get totally inconsistent results. Some pages load, some don't. Sometimes I get some page assets, while others don't come through. Bah. However, if I get rid of the above, and simply put this in:
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPassReverse /confluence http://localhost:8081/confluence
ProxyPass /confluence http://localhost:8081/confluence
It works great. Only problem is, anytime I edit a server configuration, Server Admin goes and deletes those lines! I think I've found a way around it though. I put the above lines into a "0000.proxy" file (in /etc/apache2/sites/0000.proxy) and now I've added this line:
Include "/etc/apache2/sites/0000.proxy"
At the bottom of my 0000_...conf file. So far, Server Admin hasn't deleted that line... and it seems to be working.
BUT, I'd just LOVE it if someone could tell me how to make this work without hacking around in the command line! Very annoying -- and of course, my proxies are showing up in Server Admin, and I really wish that would work.

Hi there
For the benefit of anyone looking at this thread, what is meant here is that if you choose to open the help for RoboHelp, you have an abiliity to add a comment. That comment may be kept private or shared with others. If you elect to share it with others, it is generally added as a comment into the pages that provide the help. If approved, Adobe may amend the help topic to reflect the new information.
@Jared - Was that information missing in your file? I thought when you elected to use this file that it was automatically populated with all available settings. And unfortunately (IMNSHO) the settings don't immediately reflect the settings in the dialog. (I think they should, as a starting point. At least, that's the behavior *I* expected the first time I played with the feature. I was admittedly taken aback when it didn't work that way.)
Assuming the setting was missing, how did you manage to sort what setting should be added?
Cheers... Rick

  • Automatic Proxy Configuration URL doesn't work on some computers, but Manual proxy can work

    It seems that the Automatic Proxy Configuration URL doesn't work, I use the command netstat -a, can't see the connection to proxy server, but manual proxy is ok, and I tested on some others computers, most of these computers can work normally with Automatic Proxy Configuration URL.
    For the computer can't work normally with Automatic Proxy Configuration URL, I did below actions
    1.Clear the cache
    2.update the version of firefox
    3.reinstall the firefox
    4.use the safemode to run firefox
    but unfortunately, still doesn't work.
    Can some dear friends give me a big favor for this? Thanks a million in advance!

    I have the same problem, just showed up recently - very fricking annoying!!

  • How to reflect db changes - Verify Database doesn't seem to work

    I have changed a database (MS SQL Server) column from varchar 255 to varchar 1000, but the designer doesn't pick up the change.
    I read that db changes can be picked up by using 'Verify Database' feature. It doesn't seem to work for us though. Is there any configuration to turn on for the feature to work properly or any work-around to refresh the database changes?
    We are making the database connection using JDBC (JNDI) option since the report is being used in a Java web application.
    Any comments or insights will be very much appreciated!

    Hi Wallie,
    Thank you very much for your reply! Here are the answers to your questions.
    Are you able to create a new report off the modified database?
    ==> Yes.
    Do new reports see the changes made to the database?
    ==> No.
    Are the reports connecting directly to the database table, or is it a stored procedure, business view, universe being used?
    ==> Through a business view.
    By the way, after trying so many things, I was able to figure out the reason. Since the report is using a view, not directly the table, the view itself had to be recompiled to reflect the table changes so that the view could pass the changes to the report. It was a very good thing to know. Your last question could have been a very helpful insight for this issue! Thank you so much again!

  • Safari on my iPhone 6 running 8.02 doesn't seem to work right. Some Java scripts don't show correctly and they do on other browsers I have downloaded. I tried almost everything and nothing seems to work to fix it. Please help.

    Some websites like the one of my college uses JavaScripts and they seem to load correctly to a certain point but then not really. For example in one it would say select an option from the left menu. And I do it hut nothing happens. But when I go to the same website in another browser on my phone. The JavaScript works completely and allows me to see whatever I was clickig on that menu. I have seen that there are other websites being affected too. I tried clearing my cookies and data. even restarted my phone. And doesn't seem to work. I don't know how change the configuration any more to make it work like normal. At first I thought it was my school's website but it never got fixed. And now I realized is my safari browser! I wanna keep using it since I am really familiar with It. If someone knows how to fix this please let me know!
    Thanks

    You can reset the SMC and see if that helps. If it's a unibody or Retina, follow the method for "a battery you should not remove yourself."

  • SetAutoCreateColumnsFromModel doesn't seem to work...

    I've been coding a game server browser in Java, and have gotten pretty far with it. However, I'm running into a slight problem. I want to be able to align certain cells to my own specifications, as well as size columns myself. In order to accomplish this, I don't want the table to automatically display columns. Therefore, I have attempted to use jtbServers.setAutoCreateColumnsFromModel(false);. The only problem is that it doesn't seem to work...maybe it works only after-the-fact, but what the following code results in is twice the columns.
         // Server Table
         private JScrollPane guiServers()
              // Sets up the table headers
              Object objColumn[] = {"Server", "Address", "Players", "IWAD", "PWAD", "Map", "Ping"};
              // Sets up the Data Table Model
              dtmServersData = new DefaultTableModel(objColumn, 0)
                   public boolean isCellEditable(int a, int b)
                        return false;
              // Sets up the table itself
              jtbServers = new JTable(dtmServersData);
              jtbServers.setAutoCreateColumnsFromModel(false);
              TableColumn column;
              for(int i = 0; i < objColumn.length; i++)
                   column = new TableColumn(i);
                   column.setHeaderValue(objColumn);
                   jtbServers.addColumn(column);
              // Slaps a scroll bar on it
              jspServers = new JScrollPane(jtbServers);
              return jspServers;
    Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

    I want to be able to align certain cells to my own specifications, as well as size columns myselfWell, there is no reason you can't let the table create the TableColumnModel normally and then use the setAutoCreateColumnsFromModel(...) method. Then you would customize the TableColumns.
    maybe it works only after-the-fact,I would say this is the case. This method is handy when you need to reset the table with a "refreshed" TableModel. Say you have a query from a database that will always return the same data and number of columns. When you refresh the table using the setModel(...) method, then the default behaviour would be to recreate the TCM. However, if you've already customized the TCM then you would use the setAutoCreateColumnsFromModel to preserve your customization.

  • Data Detection in Calendar in Mavericks doesn't seem to work anymore.

    Since the upgrade to Mavericks, data detection doesn't seem to work anymore.
    Before i just typed in a new event:
    "Meeting XY at 7pm in Berlin"
    and ical would automatically change that to "Meeting XY" and insert the time in the appropriate field and the same for the location.
    Now it doesn't work anymore and i have to insert it manually in the different fields.
    Anyone with the same problem? and maybe a solution?

    After searching a bit longer, I found a solution that worked for me. A setting in the CUPS server needed correcting. See this page for instructions: http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/printing/topic2807.html#d21jul2008
    After removing the Deny line indicated in the link above, I removed the printer from the remote computer and then added it back it. Two things happened, first when adding the printer back in, I no longer got the generic postscript printer driver as the default, but got the correct Officejet Driver. Second, It worked! Now to try it with my old 10.4.x powerbook to see if it's solved there too.
    Hope that helps!

  • Copy items to the iPhoto Library option doesn't seem to work

    Hi, I'm using 7.1.1 and if I:
    1. De-select the create "Copy items to the iPhoto Library" option in Preferences/Advanced
    2. Create a new library
    It doesn't seem to work. The images are still being copied into the library -- that is, if I show the package contents of the library, the data directory has the photos. Additionally, if I do something like open, modify in photoshop and save one of the imported files, it doesn't show up in iPhoto. Likewise if I modify the file in iPhoto and then look at the photo in the file system using Preview or Photoshop, the iPhoto changes don't appear.
    Is this a bug? Is it not supposed to work like this? I believe that if I say "don't copy the files into the library" it means that it uses my original photos in their original location and that changes I make in iPhoto modify and manipulate the original files.
    I've tried this on two different machines and get the same results. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    markand:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It's not a bug. You don't understand correctly how iPhoto works in the "referenced" library mode. The Data folder contains the thumbnail files that iPhoto creates and needs to operate. The Originals folder will contain alias files linked to the source files at their location. Any edits, by iPhoto or by Photoshop configured correctly will result in a modified file in the Modified folder of iPhoto. *You should not open, rename, move or edit any file in the library package from the Finder.*
    Using Photoshop to edit photos in iPHoto must be done by selecting PS as the editor to use in iPhoto's General Preferences section. Then follow the instructions below to edit photos correctly:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Port mapping doesn't seem to work - AEBS

    I have a dsl connection to an Alcatel SpeedTouch 530 modem, linked via ethernet cable to the WAN of my AEBS, which shares the connection to three Macs and 2 Win boxes. I want to connect to aMule and get a High-ID. In the wiki.amule.org FAQ it states that to achieve this, I must use port mapping behind a firewall, and map ports 4662 (TCP) and 4665 (UDP) to my machine (which, after reading http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607426&#607426, I have assigned to AirPort TCP/IP address 10.0.1.201, by the way).
    Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work, and I'm still getting the annoying 'low-ID' warnings on aMule.
    Following some advice on the aMule forum, I mapped port 80 and verified that the WebServer is accessible inside the wLan, if that's of any help.
    Thanks, people.

    Hi Tim, a couple of questions:
    1. If I go ahead and un-check the 'Distribute IP
    addresses' box, how will the three Macs and two Win
    computers on this wlan be affected? Do we still have
    access to each other's shares, and do we still access
    the internet through the AEBS?
    Once you turn off the 'distribute the IP address box' then your alcatel router will then distribute ip adresses and your macs and wintel boxes will still be on the same network and using the sharepoints will remain the same if you setup the shares using the bonjour names.
    I am making an assumption here in that your alcatel box is setup as a NAT router and not as a Bridge.
    2. Do I just give a static internal IP to my own
    powerbook, or to all the above computers?
    You only need to give a static ip to the mac your doing the port forwarding to. So that is the mac that is running the p2p software, infact you would do the same for any computer on the LAN that would run a server, such as a webserver, email server etc.
    Many thanks, as always.
    You are welcome.
    PS I had the impression that the basic idea of what I
    need to do to successfully map the ports to my Mac
    was to map ports from the DSL modem to the AEBS, then
    from AEBS to my Mac. Is this not right? Or is this
    another kind of solution to the same problem, albeit
    slightly more complicated to your suggestion above?
    If the alcatel modem was just behaving as a modem then you would use the AEBS as the NAT device and do the port mapping on that. However the Alcatel modem is also a router.
    If you setup up your alcatel router as a bridge you would then use the AEBS as your PPPoE client and then port mapping would work.

  • HTML Snippet doesn't seem to work

    Hi there
    I recently upgraded from iWeb 08 to iWeb 09.
    My problem is, HTML Snippet Widget doesn't seem to work.
    Even though I am able to drag the HTML Snippet onto my page
    and they just look fine on my iMac, when I publish and upload the files,
    those counter and ads I made using HTML Snippet are all gone.
    I see nothing at the places they should be.
    What should I do?
    Or am I missing something?

    Thanks for reply. Old Toad,
    I'm hosting my site using third party server, not by using MobileMe.
    My counter is made by third party as well.
    Here's one of my page using iWeb 08.
    http://americatvfilmnotes.web.fc2.com/Public_Enemies.html
    Everything is fine.
    I can see every ads I put there.
    And here's the one I made by basically copying format from the page above.
    But this time, I used iWeb 09 and alas,
    All my ads are gone.
    http://americatvfilmnotes.web.fc2.com/Cheri.html
    I just added the counter for this page and uploaded but
    I cannot see it as well.
    Of course I can see them on my iWeb 09.
    I used Cyberduck to upload.
    Anyways, the point is, why I cannot do things I could before when
    I was using iWeb 08?
    I think I'm totally lost.

  • My microphone doesn't seem to work.

    My microphone doesn't seem to work.

    Christine-
    You might try a second App to verify the problem is not just with the first App.  One you can try is Skype.  Once you set up your account, you can access a test server that will record your voice and play it back.
    The problem might be a loose microphone connection inside the iPad.  If you can show it to an Apple Store Genius, you may get a new iPad on the spot.
    If going to an Apple Store is not convenient, look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center.  In the US, <United States>.  Outside the US, <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1434>.

  • Wacom Tablet doesn't seem to work all of the time?

    I have a Wacom Intuos 3 tablet, not more than a year old. I recently installed it onto my Macbook Pro and it worked fine, but when I unplugged it and came back to work with it later, it doesn't seem to work. The mouse doesn't respond to where I click on the pad.
    So, I've reinstalled this a couple of times and was able to make it work perfectly, but today when I went back to work in photoshop, it doesn't seem to be responding again.
    Does anyone have any tips? I know that Leopard likes you to eject USB devices instead of just pulling them out of the slot, but I don't see anywhere to eject it.
    Does anyone know what's up?

    Downloaded a driver from website, tablet works now.

  • I'm using iphoto9.1.3 but now it doesn't seem to work, whenever I try to open it, it just shows loading, but never loads. Can anybody help me with this ?

    I'm using iphoto9.1.3 but now it doesn't seem to work, whenever I try to open it, it just shows loading, but never loads. Can anybody help me with this ?    

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • I'm travelling and trying to back up my new iPhone to iCloud. I have sufficient storage, am connected to wifi and it's plugged into a power source and yet it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?

    I'm travelling and trying to back up my new iPhone to iCloud. I have sufficient storage, am connected to wifi and it's plugged into a power source and yet it doesn't seem to work at all. I'm currently in India. Could that be the cause or can anyone suggest any reason why this wouldn't work?

    "gets stuck" - are there any error messages?
    If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test:   Go to...
    Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options.  Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup.  If that doesn't work, then this post will not help.  If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup.  If successful, keep repeating these steps.  If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail.  (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
    This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.

  • Pdfmark code in MS Word 2008 doc doesn't seem to work properly to create Named Destination

    Hi all,
    I've been having trouble with creating Preview-compatible Named Destinations in Acrobat 9.x (see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/770470?tstart=0).  Distiller, on the other hand, appears to create compatible Destinations, so as a last-ditch effort, I tried to go back to my original source file (Microsoft Word 2008 document) to use Distiller's pdfmark functionality, to see if maybe I could finally get a PDF with Preview-compatible Destinations.
    Following instructions found elsewhere on this forum, I went into Word and inserted the following field into a test location in my document:
    PRINT "[ /Dest /testdest /View [ /XYZ null null null ] /DEST pdfmark"
    This field code is supposed to then cause a pdfmark to be inserted into the resulting PostScript and/or PDF files.  Distiller is supposed to understand this and turn it into a Named Destination called "testdest."  However, it doesn't seem to work - I don't see the pdfmark code in the PS file, and the PDF file doesn't have any Named Destinations in it.
    I'm using Acrobat 9.x on Mac OS X 10.6.5, so I tried this two different ways:
    1) Using the "Print to Adobe PDF" workflow (which replaced the "Adobe PDF Printer" from previous OS/Acrobat versions) - this automatically generates a PDF via (presumably) an API call to Distiller... and
    2) Using the "Print to Postscript" workflow to generate a PS file, which I then ran through Adobe Distiller.
    In neither case did I end up with a named destination in the PDF file, as I was supposed to.  In case #2, even the Postscript file didn't have a pdfmark embedded in it.  Thus, I'm assuming that perhaps this is particular issue may be a problem with MS Word 2008 rather than with Acrobat... but I'm hoping someone might have a clue as to how to fix it.
    I welcome ideas on how to get Word 2008 to properly output pdfmark code, so that Distiller will pick it up and properly embed a Named Destination into the PDF...
    Thanks in advance.
    (If anyone has ideas about the Preview-compatible problem, linked above, that would also be great!)

    You're suggesting that it was never fixed from Word 2004 to 2008?  Possibly.  I wonder if it's fixed in Word 2011?  Anyone know?  But is it really a Word problem, rather than a Distiller issue?
    I appreciate your offer, though I do have access to Word on Windows (2003, I think), so I could try Distilling there... I only worry about formatting, since there are minor differences (e.g. font kerning, etc.) between Mac and Windows that are subtle, but sufficient to create formatting issues for very long documents (e.g. pushing figures onto the wrong pages, etc.).  That would be a rather big problem.
    The question remains whether this is an issue with Word or Distiller, though... and whether it's fixed in Distiller X and/or Word 2011.
    Adobe, care to comment?
    I'd really love to find a proper Mac solution, if one exists... it would be rather a slap to Mac users if a solution doesn't exist.
