All calls redirecting to backend port (Stephen Gazard)

Thank you to everyone, and especially Stephen Gazard - you were right, the problem was that Apache was set to use *:8080, and was solved when I specified that Apache should use 127.0.0.1:80.

A final quick note for future users who might read this: remember to also clear your _browser_ cache when testing any changes you've made. Had me puzzled for a bit.

And again, thanks!

Hello all,
I'm completely new to Varnish, if this is a silly question I apologize and ask to please be directed to a newbie forum.

Anyway, I've a LAMP server on which I'm testing Varnish. Apache is set to port 8008 in ports-conf and 000-default, Varnish is set to listen on port 80 in /etc/default/varnish and told that the backend is on port 8008 in default.vcl. 

Everything seems to be working, Varnishhist and Live Headers confirm that Varnish is caching the frontpage, but clicking on any link redirects the URL to the backend port, bypassing Varnish. 
E.g. clicking on link from the front page to http://www.mysite.com/mypage.php?item=1234 sends the browser to http://www.mysite.com:8008/mypage.php?item=1234. 
If I manually enter the URL in the browser without the port number then the page loads through Varnish just fine, but clicking any link automatically appends the port number.

I assume this is a configuration error, any ideas what's going on and how I can fix it?

You need to make sure your application support being behind a reverse proxy. Two solutions I can think of to your problem are 1) Make all urls relative. i.e) /mypage.php?item=1234 instead of using the full url. 2) Have varnish append a X-Forwarded-Host header in vcl_recv. Then make your app use that as the host for the urls.

It?s a server configuration error.  Assuming varnish & apache are on the same server

-          varnish listening on the public IP address port 80

-          apache listening on 127.0.0.1 on port 80.  If it?s on a separate server, modify Apache to listen on port 80 on the secondary server?s IP
Otherwise you get apache serving links via Varnish and it will put the non-standard port it thinks it sits on.

See http://ocaoimh.ie/2011/08/09/speed-up-wordpress-with-apache-and-varnish/

Stephen
