Redmine

Hi,

I've installed and configured redmine in a subdirectory of my site:

http://example.com/redmine

I'm using apache and mongrel cluster webservers and I am trying to configure them to use SSL. The site mostly works fine, I can view all the pages using SSL. "Home", "My page" and "Projects" all link to SSL pages. However, when I submit a change, or click the 'Sign Out' link, I am redirected to the http version of the page (The sign out link is: https://example.com/redmine/logout but I am then redirected to the http version).

My apache configuration:

# Config file for redmine

RequestHeader set X_FORWARDED_PROTO “https”

RewriteLog /tmp/myapp_rewrite_log
RewriteLogLevel 9

<Location /redmine>

    SSLRequireSSL
    RewriteEngine On
    Options +FollowSymlinks

    # Redirect non-static requests to cluster
    RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ balancer://redmine_cluster%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QSA,L]

</Location>

<Proxy balancer://redmine_cluster>
    BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:3000
    BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:3001
    BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:3002
    BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:3003
    BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:3004
</Proxy>

There are a couple of links related to this:

http://www.redmine.org/issues/1145
http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/FAQ#Why-does-Redmine-use-http-links-when-I-want-it-to-use-https-links-in-Apache-SSL

Both suggest adding:

RequestHeader set X_FORWARDED_PROTO “https”

As you can see, I have done this, and restarted both apache and mongrel but it does not appear to help.

Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

Thanks,
