Zimbra http proxy not working

[i2ambler]

I have followed the zimbra proxy installation and configuration - but it does not seem to be working for http/https. The Imap / POP proxy works fine. However, http. Not so much. I followed the following instructions:

Configuring ZCS HTTP Proxy

here are the commands I used for web proxy:

/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmproxyconfig -w -e -a 8080:80:8443:443 -H `zmhostname` -x both


when I try to connect to the proxy node - it fails. I cannot telnet to either 80 or 443 on the proxy node. However, the 8080 port is accessable on the mailbox servers..

any ideas?

Have you set zimbraPublicServiceHostname to be the name of the server facing the internet ?

No.. but Shouldnt the proxy box be listening on port 80 and redirecting traffic to the mailstore on port 8080 regardless? This appears to be the case with imap and pop traffic.. the proxy is now listening on 110 and 143 and redirecting that traffic to the mailbox servers to 7110 and 7143

Have you checked your logs to see what NGINX is not binding ?

On the front end proxy server did you run

zmproxyconfig -e -w -a 0:80:0:443 -x both -H `zmhostname`

Yep.. I ran

 /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmproxyconfig -w -e -a 0:80:0:443 -x both -H `zmhostname`

thats directly cut and pasted from my commandline history. As for logs - theres not alot of info in the nginix log..

Here is a snippet:

Did you completely shutdown ZCS after making the changes and restart; on both the front-end and back-end ?

[i2ambler]

Yep.. I issued zmcontrol stop;zmcontrol start on both proxy and the two mailbox servers. I have also made sure that there is no communication block between the proxy and the mailbox servers.. there isnt. Its rather frustrating, as it shouldnt be any more difficult than the imap/pop proxy setup (which works)

[uxbod]

Hmmm, would you run this on the front-end and back-end please and post the results so I can compare to my installation

zmprov gs `zmhostname` | egrep "ProxyPort|BindPort"
