Dynamic referenceURL

Post by debridat1 »

Hi,

I use phpmyfaq 2.9.13 and it works very well within an intranet.
Now I need to make it accessible also from the internet.
To make the site accessible from the internet, I must necessarily use a different address from the internal one with a reverse proxy.

The problem is on the referenceURL: I reach the site from the internet, but when I start browsing it I have redirects with the internal address of the site and images are not loaded
Is it possible to configure a dynamic referenceURL?

Tnk

Hi,

you can use the local IP as phpMyFAQ should recognize you're running a reverse proxy.

We're using the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header to rewrite the URLs.

Thorsten thanks for the reply.
I don't understand how to use HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR to rewrite URLs; do I have to act only on the web server (I use Apache)? Or should I also modify PhpMyFaq?

Could you give me some more details?

thank you so much

Hi,

I thought again about your problem. I think you should use the external hostname in phpMyFAQ.
