Using proxypass with plesk, show admin session ip

Question

I've setup a subdomain for use with plesk so I don't have to type out the port all the time.

Here is my HTTP configuration:

SSLProxyEngine Off
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule $ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Here is my HTTPS configuration:

SSLProxyEngine On
AllowEncodedSlashes On

<Location />
    ProxyPass https://localhost:8443/
    ProxyPassReverse https://localhost:8443/
</Location>

Here is my nginx configuration (doesn't do anything I need, just tried it):

proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;

It shows the IP as 127.0.0.1, how can I get my real IP to show up when behind ProxyPass?

Answer 1

It appears you merely needed to modify a fastcgi parameter, and since plesk runs it's own instance it won't interfere with any other services.

Add the following line to /etc/sw-cp-server/fastcgi_params:

fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $http_x_real_ip;

Or just run this command with appropriate privleges:

echo 'fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $http_x_real_ip;' > /etc/sw-cp-server/fastcgi_params

Then restart the service:

/etc/init.d/sw-cp-server restart
