F5 Request URL Issue

Hello!

I setup F5 load balancer with SSL offloading for a Drupal site on three web servers.

The problem is if the file is https, the request url use the public ip, which is what I want. But if the file is http, the request url use one of the nodes LAN IP, which can't be accessed publicly!

 

What could be the reason??

 

Appreciate your help.

    Hi MA,

    I think the link to the file is an absolute path.

    If so, my advice is to replace it with a relative path.

     

    If you cannot replace it, other solutions can be found.

     

    I hope I have helped you.

    Hi Angelo,

    Thank you for your reply.

    No the links are not absolute path. I think the issue was I didn't enable Drupal reverse proxy settings. 

    $settings['reverse_proxy'] = TRUE;

    After enabling above and related settings, it seems to work fine.
