Doc Text:
Cause: httpd did not set client IP address of request provided by mod_remoteip to internal shared memory. Consequence: When running httpd behind a proxy with the RemoteIPHeader and RemoteIPTrustedProxyList directives, mod_status did not show proper client IP address - it showed proxy server IP address instead. Fix: httpd has been fixed to use the IP address reported by mod_remoteip as expected. Result: mod_status is now showing proper client IP address in the mentioned case.

Description Vadim Grinco 2014-11-30 01:33:30 UTC
Description of problem:
If you have an apache 2.4 server behind a proxy, and you define the RemoteIPHeader and RemoteIPTrustedProxyList directives mod_remoteip will fail to report client ip address to mod_status. It works perfectly fine with logs (%a is correctly set), however mod_status is displaying proxy IP rather client IP


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
httpd-2.4.6-18

How reproducible:
enable and configure both mod_remoteip and mod_status

Actual results:
Wrong client ip is displayed in server status page

Expected results:
See real client's IP
