Proxy issues (again)

dev support

OS: Windows 11 on a Microsoft Surface 6 Pro
Java Version: 21.0.9
Tomcat Version: 11.0.15, 64bit
Lucee Version: 6.2.4.24

Hi folks,
I seem to run into this issue repeatedly.
Proxy doesn’t seem to work. I MUST include :8888 with every CFML request.
Without the :8888 I get blank pages or errors
I turned on every debuggin and logging option possible and still no help there.

I followed this tutorial…
https://viviotech.github.io/mod_cfml/install-win-apache.html
a number of times and still no joy.

As long as I include :8888 cfml works (but some images will not render) so I ruled out all the Mod_cfml issues.

I have other MS surface tablets with working (older) versions of Lucee on them and tried to do a side by side comparison to see if I could see any issues but the working ones seem to be configured identical to the non working ones.

My best WAG is that I have the wrong version of one of the proxy files installed or an environment variable is not properly configured.

I’m exhausted trying to track this down with no success over the past month ior so so I plead for some advice :slight_smile:

If you can give any, thanks a heap!

Got it working (Woo Hoo!)

Last thing I did was change server.xml connector port config to this…

<Connector protocol="AJP/1.3" address="::1" port="8009"
           redirectPort="8443" secretRequired="false" />

And it started working normally. I did do a few other things but I cant remember what else I did but whatever it was, it didn’t work until I finally did this change.

Oh, one other thing I did was run this command…
Netstat -ano | findstr :8009

And that showed that port 8009 was bound to 127.0.0.1. After the change it was bound to ::[0] or something like that and I assume that’s what the issue was.

In a few years I’ll run into this again and lo and behold, my own answer will help me (and others). Until next time.
