Bugs or problem?

Hi, all

Hi, all

I found a problem on Apache v2.2.14. I down graded my Apache to v2.0.59 and=
tested. The problem does not exist on Apache v2.0.59. How do I file a bug =
report or fix request? Thanks.

Ryan

You start by telling us what the problem is, and seeing if it's =
something for which there's a well-known solution.

RE: Bugs or problem?

Well, I posted the problem two weeks ago and nobody responded. I will do it=
again.

1. First problem was with Apache 2.2.8 which it is fixed in 2.2.14. When I =
used HP precompiled Apache 2.2.8 (HPUX 11.23), the web sites are migrated f=
rom HPUX 11.11, Apache 2.0.59 to HPUX 11.23, Apache 2.2.8. The web sites ar=
e configured with Apache virtual hosts which redirects to Tomcat 5.5 AJP wh=
ich installed on the same host. For the Apache virtual hosts, it also has s=
tatic web pages for a web site. When the problem happened, Apache did not r=
e-direct to Tomcat AJP so the web site couldn't be accessed. Meanwhile the =
static web pages could be accessed by that web site. We restarted Tomcat bu=
t no help until Apache was restarted. Once I down graded to HPUX 11.23, Apa=
che 2.0.59 the problem went away. I called HP support but no help.
2. The problem that I have now is:

Solaris 10, Apache 2.2.14 reverse proxy --> HPUX 11.23, Apache 2.0.59, Tomc=
at 5.5 AJP --> Oracle DB

The web sites are having user login page. Once the users enter their user n=
ames and passwords, the page does not refresh itself to tell the users that=
they have logged in. Rather the web page still shows login page until the =
users click F5 to refresh the web page and then the web page shows the user=
s are logged in. The same happened when the users logged out.

Now I tested with this setup:

Solaris 10, Apache 2.0.59 reverse proxy --> HPUX 11.23, Apache 2.0.59, Tomc=
at 5.5 AJP --> Oracle DB

The problem went away.=20

Note those Apache are pre-compiled either by HP or internet, I did not comp=
ile myself although I can. At the time the latest version compiled by HP wa=
s Apache 2.2.8.=20

The use of the term "login page" makes me wonder if maybe the error lies =
at some higher layer than Apache. Apache implements authentication in =
ways that don't involve a "login page", and so presumably this login =
page is from some third-party application, or something you have coded =
yourself, Is there a HTTP Redirect involved in this page refresh, or is =
it a AJAX action? Can you watch the traffic (either something like =
Firebug, or something on the server) to observe what's happening, and =
where the message is getting dropped?

RE: Bugs or problem?

Hi, Rich

Yes the login page for the user authentication comes from Tomcat server. Th=
e traffic between Solaris Apache and HPUX Apache server are strictly 'http'=
, HPUX Apache redirect traffic to AJP port of Tomcat through mod_jk. In my =
Apache 2.2.14 test, except downgraded Apache from v2.2.14 to 2.0.15 on Sola=
ris and its related configuration changes in httpd.conf, there is no other =
changes made. That is why I think there is a problem in Apache v2.2.14.

I should make it clear. In my previous HPUX Apache v2.2.8 problem, the Apac=
he on HPUX had two separate virtual servers. At the time, one virtual web s=
erver had strictly static html web pages and served by Apache directly. The=
other virtual web server uses mod_jk for the communication between Apache =
and Tomcat. When the problem happened, clients could access web server with=
static web pages no problem. Clients could not access the web server with =
Apache and Tomcat. Restart Tomcat did not help. Restart Apache helped. It c=
ould last for several days no problem. After that, the problem happened aga=
in and needed to restart Apache again. Once I downgraded Apache from v2.2.8=
to v2.0.59 without other changes, the problem is gone.

Ruiyuan,

I'm sorry to have wasted your time assuming that this was a problem that =
could be easily resolved. It seems like maybe this is a difference in =
how mod_proxy handles stuff - I assume you're using ProxyPass and =
mod_proxy_http.

I would suggest that you post your situation on =
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/ , with as much detail as possible, =
including your ProxyPass configuration.
