Have installed apsis Pound on Ubuntu Desktop 12.04.1.

I am forwarding HTTP requests to an XServe (Snow Leopard Server) Apache instance, my problem is that I am getting local private IP addresses in the access_log, and pretty much all logs on the backend.

Simple config snippet below:

ListenHTTP
    Address 192.168.1.100
    Port    80

    ## allow PUT and DELETE also (by default only GET, POST and HEAD)?:
    xHTTP   1

    #Virtual host www.mywebsite.com
    Service
        HeadRequire "Host:.*mywebsite.com.*"
        BackEnd
            Address 192.168.1.250
            Port    80
        End
    End

Now, should I be adding an X-Forwarded-For header in Pound? I thought Pound did this automatically.

Or perhaps, do I do a HeadRemove: X-Forwarded-For on incoming requests first? This might be confusing issues.

Would love it if anyone could get back to me!

Cheers,

James

  • So what is the actual problem? That in your access_log on your apache server you are getting the IP of the Ubuntu server (192.168.1.100)? – boburob Sep 17 '12 at 10:14
  • Exactly, boburob. Basically, it will become much more difficult to marry together information from the pound log (in ubuntu syslog) with the OSX apache access_log if I am relying on timestamps. This way I can do scripts for page hits, unique IPs etc, without grepping through the ubuntu syslog first. Is it a Pound config change or an OSX Apache config change (if so through terminal or the GUI?) to get Client IP addresses in OSX logs? – James Sep 18 '12 at 01:38
