Hello to everyone,
I have 3 servers locally and everyone has his own Virtualmin/Webin control panel and all three are connected in internet via a Microtik Router/Firewall. One of the server is online, public, with a website, and the others are for backup purposes. The one that is online has an public ip (217.xx.xx.xx) and a local one (192.168.1.100). Everything is working fine but, (always is a BUT ) when i tried to see the Apache Error Logs everywhere is shown the local IP as a visitor’s IP; and when i see Apache Access Logs, appears 192.168.1.1 as Visitor’s access:
Example of Apache Error Log:
[Wed Nov 05 18:30:52 2014] [error] [client 192.168.1.1] Premature end of script headers
Example of Apache Access Log:
192.168.1.1 - - [05/Nov/2014:19:42:24 +0100] "GET
Would someone help me on this issue, please?
Thank you!
How is traffic being passed from the internet to your system? Is your router/firewall doing NAT?
The issue your seeing with a local IP address being logged I’ve only seen when a reverse proxy application is between the internet and the web server.
Hello there,
I’m reopening this thread since i have been facing the problem again and i need to show real ip’s now. Until now it was not really necessary but now it is.
Internet is coming firstly to a OpticalFiber Router that is passing the internet to a small Mikrotik and after that to a big switch that provides internet for the whole building. We have 2 dedicated IP’s and one of them is used for the online server.
Server specs is: Centos 6.7 , 32GM Ram, Octacore, 10/100 port, Lates Virtualmin/Webmin.
I have tried many ways to resolve it and i didn’t get it worked Hope that someone can help me resolve this issue.
Thank you!
