FreeNAS Behind Reverse Proxy

[brando56894]

I'm in the process of setting up all my hosted services on HTPC Manager for easy access. I have a basic understanding of apache reverse proxies since I have successfully configured them for transmission, sickrage, couchpotato and nzbget, I'm having problems though with FreeNAS since it redirects to the login page.

I have virtual hosts configured for each running webserver and have everything set in /usr/local/apache24/extras/httpd-vhosts.conf like so

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName localhost
  ServerAlias 127.0.0.1
  ProxyPreserveHost on

    <Location /freenas>
        order deny,allow
        deny from all
        allow from all
        ProxyPass http://192.168.1.6
        ProxyPassReverse http://192.168.1.6
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>

when I enter [domain]/freenas into my URL bar it automatically redirects to [domain]/account/login and then says that it can't be found. How can I get it to redirect to freenas instead? Same thing happens with the IPMI interface.

I have a basic understanding of apache reverse proxies...

I don't, but I do know that the FreeNAS WebGUI doesn't use Apache. Does that help?

lol. nope.

the reverse proxy sits on another box (the apache config) and offers a single launchpoint for all internal websites. basically the /freenas appending the IP/domain address would take him to his freenas box, where using /transmission would take him to his transmission box (jail or whatever, just a different ip)

sadly, i cant really help with apache configs because i use nginx on all my servers and my reverse proxies

How do you have it set up? Maybe it will help me.

I don't use a reverse proxy for FreeNAS. I have an html5 VPN that I use to access my network.

I have nginx reverse proxy set up for another couple of servers.

Ah ok, well I enabled trace logging for the /freenas directory and it seems it is a problem with redirection since I see the error code 302 in the log, even though when I go to my /freenas url it just gives me a white page, no errors or anything. http://www.askapache.com/hosting/reverse-proxy-apache.html specifically mentions this error code and how to fix it, but that doesn't seem to work for me, or maybe I'm not implementing it correctly.

My FreeNAS box is 192.168.1.6 and my Apache server sits on 192.168.1.100
