Transmission behind reverse proxy Dispair

Post by ctx83 »

Hi guys, please help me on this... I have literally spent days. My transmission web UI will work fine on port 9091, but when behind an apache2 reverse proxy with ssl it loads and immediately throws "Connection Failed // Could not connect to the server. You may need to reload the page to reconnect." Sadly a reload does nothing.
Here's my apache config (FQDN=my server's public address):

Code: Select all

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost FQDN:443>
 
ProxyPass               /transmission   http://127.0.0.1:9091/transmission
ProxyPassReverse        /transmission   http://127.0.0.1:9091/transmission
ProxyTimeout    30
ProxyErrorOverride      On
ProxyVia                On

 
#<Proxy http://127.0.0.1:9091/transmission>
<Proxy *>
        Require all granted
       Options none
 </Proxy>
 
 SSLEngine On
SSLProxyEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/FQDN/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/FQDN/privkey.pem
Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf
KeepAliveTimeout 99
 
</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>
my transmission's settings json includes these lines:

Code: Select all

   "rpc-authentication-required": true,
    "rpc-bind-address": "0.0.0.0",
    "rpc-enabled": true,
    "rpc-host-whitelist": "FQDN",
    "rpc-host-whitelist-enabled": true,
    "rpc-port": 9091,
    "rpc-url": "/transmission/",
    "rpc-whitelist": "*",
    "rpc-whitelist-enabled": true,
PLEASE help!! :-)

Cheers, Chris
