HTTP Admin Interface Reverse Proxy through Lighttpd

[Dimedo]

Eine deutsche Version dieses Threads gibt es hier.

Hi there,

I'm running TeamSpeak 2 Linux Server (2.0.20.1) on Debian GNU/Linux Etch (4.0 RC1) with MySQL (5.0.30-3) Backend with some modified SQL Statements for server side password hashing. For reverse proxy functionality I want to use Lighttpd HTTP Server (1.4.13) with mod_proxy.

What I want to do is to make my TeamSpeak HTTP Admin Interface securely accessible through a virtual domain on port 443 (HTTPS) which is in use by my Lighttpd HTTP Server. A possible solution would be to use it's reverse proxy functionality, which I already used for Admin Interfaces of some other applications, which in those cases works pretty well.

After configuring the proxy for the TeamSpeak Admin Interface in exactly the way I successfully configured the other Admin Interfaces, I tried to connect to the virtual domain through HTTPS, resulting in a zero reply until timeout. Lighttpd mod_proxy debug in debug mode gives some information on this in the logfile, but i can't find nor can i fix the problem.

If someone has experience or ideas on this issue, I would be very pleased to see an answer. I have posted the same thread on the Lighttpd forum. You can find it here.

Here's the Lighttpd logfile content on this request:

Here's the Lighttpd configuration:

server.modules   += ( "mod_proxy" )
proxy.debug  = 1
proxy.balance     = "hash"

$SERVER["socket"] == "123.123.123.123:80" {

   $HTTP["host"] == "teamspeak.mydomain.tld" {
      url.redirect         = ( "^/(.*)" => "https://teamspeak.mydomain.tld/$1" )
   }

}   

$SERVER["socket"] == "123.123.123.123:443" {
   ssl.engine = "enable"
   ssl.pemfile = "/path/to/my/cert.pem"
   ssl.ca-file = "/path/to/my/ca.crt"

   $HTTP["host"] == "teamspeak.mydomain.tld" {
      server.name = "teamspeak.mydomain.tld"
      proxy.server         = ( "" =>
                               (
                                 ( "host" => "123.123.123.123", "port" => 14534 )
                               )
                             )
   }

}
