Need help setting HAProxy as a Reverse Proxy for my Oracle APEX applications.
Currently, my apps are accessed through their respective URLs like the ones here:
apexapp1.mydomain.com/ords/f?p=100
apexpp2.mydomain.com/ords/f?p=200
and so on…
Also, I have created an internal DNS that points to the machine that hosts HAProxy (myInternalDNSApp1.mydomain.com) and I would like that when the user goes to this url HAProxy will redirect him/her to the apexapp1.mydomain.com/ords/f?p=100.
Here is my haproxy.cfg file:
global
log 127.0.0.1 local2 debug
chroot /var/lib/haproxy
pidfile /var/run/haproxy.pid
maxconn 4000
user haproxy
group haproxy
daemon
# turn on stats unix socket
stats socket /var/lib/haproxy/stats
defaults

log global

timeout http-keep-alive 10s

maxconn 3000
frontend http_in
bind *:80

option httplog
acl host_launchpad hdr(host) -i myInternalDNSApp1.mydomain.com
use_backend launchpad if host_launchpad
backend launchpad
balance roundrobin
option httplog
server app1 apexapp1.mydomain.com/ords/f?p=100 check
So far, when going to myInternalDNSApp1.mydomain.com it always takes me to the apexapp1.mydomain.com/ords/f?p=4550 site (which is the admin page). I believe HAProxy is stripping out the f?p=100 part of the url which leaves myInternalDNSApp1.mydomain.com/ords and by default this always takes you to the admin page.
any idea on how to force and keep the f?p=100 part of the url?
thanks.
Basically
