Deploying play! 2.0 application on an apache server with a reverse proxy
- by locrizak
I'm trying to deploy my play! 2.0 application on an Ubuntu 11.10 server and I have been running into error after error and hope someone can help me here. I am try to deploy my Play! application using a reverse proxy on Apache 2. I have enabled the apache proxy modules and configured the proxy.conf file in mods_enabled. The vhost for my domain looks like this:
<Directory /var/www/stage.domain.com
AllowOverride None
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</Directory
<VirtualHost *:80
DocumentRoot /var/www/stage.domain.com/web
ServerName stage.domain.com
ServerAdmin [email protected]
# ProxyRequests Off
# ProxyPreserveHost On
<Proxy *
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Proxy
# ProxyVia On
# ProxyPass /play/ http://localhost:9000/
# ProxyPassReverse /play/ http://localhost:9000/

This vhost file was generated by ispconfig and I have not touched anything that was there before just added onto. As you can see by the commented out parts I have tried a lot of different things based on random tutorials I have found but all of them have ended up in Internal Server Error, 503 and most often a '502 Bad Gateway`.
I can start play and it does connect successfully to my database. I can get a page to show up when there is an error and the play! stack trace error pages comes up but where everything is fine I get one of the errors above.
My application.conf file looks like this:
db info
.......
application.mode=PROD
logger.root=ERROR
# Logger used by the framework:
logger.play=INFO
# Logger provided to your application:
logger.application=DEBUG
http.path="/play/"
XForwardedSupport="127.0.0.1"
And my hosts file looks like this (I have never changed or added anything to the host file):
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 matrix
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
Any insights onto what I might be doing wrong or if theres anything I can try please let me know! Thanks!!
Edit
Again the reverse proxy will work (I checked with sending to to google.com). Its when there is a successful connection to Netty. It's like Netty refuses the connection to the page.
