[users@httpd] Incorrect $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] Returned
Hello. I have configured my RHEL5 Apache system with SSL. I verified that
SSL was installed correctly and accessing the site via SSL works as expected
with the one exception described below.
The problem I am having is my PHP code is pulling the
$_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] variable and this is coming back as 80 rather than
443. To narrow this problem down, I've closed port 80 by commenting out
'LISTEN 80' so my server is ONLY listening on port 443. I've verified this
via a port scan of my server ... 443 is open, 80 is not.
Here is my <VIRTUALHOST> code within HTTPD.CONF
NameVirtualHost *:443
:
:
:
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerAdmin first.name@xyz.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/redcap
ServerName name.url.edu
ErrorLog logs/<filename>
CustomLog logs/<filename>
</VirtualHost>
I can get 443 to be returned from _SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] if I edit the 3rd
line above to :
ServerName name.url.edu:443
But, if I do this, it messes a few other things up internal to the site.
Does anyone have an idea why _SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] is returning 80 rather
than 443?
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Regards,

Thanks again Eric. Once I moved the SSL virtual host within SSL.CONF, that
did the trick and everything worked as expected.
Much appreciated.

Normally an SSL virtual host has SSL directives in it.

Thanks again for the quick reply. How did my config also imply http over
443?

Your config also implied http over 443 which is unusual. A redirect
to that protocol and port seems pretty natural.

Thanks for the quick response Eric. Well, if I add :
'UseCanonicalPhysicalPort On'
I can then keep my 3rd line within <virtualhost *:443> be :
ServerName name.url.edu (without the :443)
And I DO get the proper port returned.
However, then, within the application I am using, if I logout of the
application and/or navigate around as I used to be able to do, I get the
following URL which errors out on me:
http://name.url.edu:443/rcsurvey/rp_survey/1.3.1/
You can see that it tacked on the ':443' and changed https to http.
Any thoughts?

There was a thread about this today on this very list, have you tried
the solution there?
