Varnish proxy redirects from domain.com to domain.com:8080

Question

I got Varnish on port 80 before lighttpd on port 8080 as a cache. Sometimes when I go to page http://domain.com/ I'm being redirected to http://domain.com:8080. How to prevent this ?

My guess is that whatever app you have running behind lighttpd is building fully qualified redirects to http://domain.com:8080 since that's where the app believes it is running. Is it code you wrote or a package like Wordpress? — daveadams, Feb 04 '12 at 16:32

You need both forward and reverse proxy entries to avoid this behavior.

It happens to me when I log into FlySpray. – Spacedust Feb 04 '12 at 21:17
