Access through a reverse proxy about mongodb-php-gui HOT 12 CLOSED

from mongodb-php-gui.

I do not have a good overview, but what is crucial is that the controller redirect should use this path for the internal redirects.

Controller::redirectTo() method use MPG_BASE_URL constant which is based on $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] variable. See [1]. So I don't understand why redirect fails. Could it be related to reverse proxy behavior?

instead of using full paths and server names. just 7se realative url. dont use / anywhere at the start but just index.php or subdirectory names. if i find time ill look at coding a pr

I've done some testing. I've realized that the problem is not the context, but the HTTP_HOST.

When this parameter is missing from the ngnix reverse_proxy then the host is the local hostname not the reverse_proxy host name:
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;

Since in our environment pushing through a change like that is time consuming, I've did a workaround, which is not the nicest, but works :)

For the main product probably @patrickdk77's point is the best.

@tonkolviktor You don't need to move files to api/mongo-ui folder anymore?

Could you please do a dirty test?
Replace this line:

define('MPG_BASE_URL', $baseUrl);

by this line:

define('MPG_BASE_URL', $serverPath);

Maybe we can omit the host and use MPG_SERVER_PATH instead of MPG_BASE_URL everywhere in code.

PS: I think it's safer to keep absolute paths.

@SamuelTS thanks I did.
Hm, at least the static files I still have to move, right?
Maybe they need an extra route or something, but for me they fail:

HTML:
<script src="/api/mongo-ui/static/js/mpg.login.js"></script>
Log:
GET /api/mongo-ui/static/js/mpg.login.js - No such file or directory

Additionally I'm getting now a session problems, but this could be because one of my changes.

PHPSESSID cookie is set and sent.

Yes. But it wasn't required previously? I'm lost 😆

You should not debug with print [1]. This could cause issues. I think error_log is a better option.

@tonkolviktor I've released a version. Routing code is cleaner. This should not resolve your issue, but I encourage you to upgrade anyway.

@SamuelTS thanks!
A summary from my side is that the reverse proxy setup works.

I cannot fix the session problem that I'm having, which means unfortunately I cannot continue. However that must be something in my environment.

Thanks for the quick reply and action to make the reverse proxy work, hopefully it will be useful for someone else. From my side feel free to close the issue.

ps.: I wanted to clear one point before a deployment in a separate issue, but unfortunately that will not be relevant for me anymore. Still here it is: I could not find License information only [1], I would not know how to understand this. It would be nice to clarify what can be done with your code, like: https://docs.github.com/en/github/creating-cloning-and-archiving-repositories/creating-a-repository-on-github/licensing-a-repository
