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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><br>Raul<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> varnish-misc-bounces@varnish-cache.org [mailto:varnish-misc-bounces@varnish-cache.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Mike Noren<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, March 25, 2013 11:07 AM<br><b>To:</b> varnish-misc@varnish-cache.org<br><b>Subject:</b> All calls redirecting to backend port<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td valign=top style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hello all,<br>I'm completely new to Varnish, if this is a silly question I apologize and ask to please be directed to a newbie forum.<br><br>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. <br><br>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. <br>E.g. clicking on link from the front page to <a href="http://www.mysite.com/mypage.php?item=1234">http://www.mysite.com/mypage.php?item=1234</a> sends the browser to <a href="http://www.mysite.com:8008/mypage.php?item=1234">http://www.mysite.com:8008/mypage.php?item=1234</a>. <br>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.<br><br>I assume this is a configuration error, any ideas what's going on and how I can fix it?<o:p></o:p></p></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
