Apache 500 Error when proxying api subdirectory

au flag

I am trying to redirect PUT request for a specific endpoint to another host.

The said endpoint resides under /internal and accepts only PUT requests. The other endpoints under /internal will continue to be served by my main host/server.

I have tried setting it up using both rewrite rules and using the proxy ([P]) flag and using the ProxyPass directive - all resulting in a 500 Internal Server Error and the request never makes it to the new host

My client application uses a simple REST client that cannot handle redirects, so I have to use some kind of proxying.

Apache logs show the following

[Thu Feb 10 08:56:20.394444 2022] [rewrite:trace1] [pid 8579] mod_rewrite.c(480): [client XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXXX] XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX - - [subdomain1.mydomain.com/sid#55d4ed07ecb0][rid#55d4ed2c5f20/initial] go-ahead with proxy request proxy: https://subdomain2.mydomain.com/internal/my-endpoint [OK]

Here's the current configuration for the specific vhost

<VirtualHost *:80>
 ServerName subdomain1.mydomain.com
  ProxyPass /soap ajp://localhost:7007/soap retry=3
  ProxyPreserveHost On
  Redirect /  https://subdomain1.mydomain.com/
  ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/subdomain1_error
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>

  ProxyPreserveHost On
  #RewriteEngine On

  #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} '^/internal/my-endpoint'
  #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(PUT)
  #RewriteRule "^/(.*)" "https://subdomain2.mydomain.com/internal/my-endpoint" [P]

  ProxyPass /internal/my-endpoint https://subdomain2.mydomain.com/internal/my-endpoint
  ProxyPassReverse /internal/my-endpoint https://subdomain2.mydomain.com/internal/my-endpoint
  ProxyPreserveHost On

  LogLevel alert rewrite:trace3

Ok- after enabling the debug in the apache logs it turns out the issue was related to the SSL certificates as the proxying was to a server which was accepting HTTPS connections only

Had to update the apache configuration to the one below to make it work

<VirtualHost *:80>
 ServerName subdomain1.mydomain.com
  ProxyPass /soap ajp://localhost:7007/soap retry=3
  ProxyPreserveHost On
  Redirect /  https://subdomain1.mydomain.com/
  ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/subdomain1_error
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
  ServerName subdomain1.mydomain.com
  Options FollowSymlinks
  ProxyRequests Off
  ProxyErrorOverride off
  ProxyPreserveHost On
######
  SSLEngine on
  SSLProxyEngine on

  ProxyPass /internal/my-endpoint https://subdomain2.mydomain.com/internal/my-endpoint
  ProxyPassReverse /internal/my-endpoint https://subdomain2.mydomain.com/internal/my-endpoint

  LogLevel alert rewrite:trace3

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
