Jan 07, 2011ProxyPass iRule, Version 8.2 usage
I'm trying to implement ProxyPass iRule, Version 8.2 so I can remove apache from a server . The apache code does nothing accept 'proxypass' to another app on the same server . Here is the proxy pass statement in the httpd.conf file
ProxyPass /LogToolDEV/ http://localhost:8080/
Currently the user connects to this app using a url like this
https://some.server.something/LogToolDEV
The bigip terminates the ssl and I currently have a simple irule that looks for the 'LogToolDEV' and changes the pool to 'test' (port 80) on which apache is listening .
This works fine.
So it seems as though I can bypass apache all together with the ProxyPass irule . I
have tried various combinations in the irule data group , here are 2
/LogToolDEV/ http://192.168.12.96:8080/ test8080
/LogToolDEV/ / test8080
the pool test8080 point to the server , port 8080
I have verified the existence of pool 'test8080' but irule debug shows

What am I missing ?
- Steve_Brown_882Historic F5 AccountThat error looks like it can't find the actual pool. Can you paste the irule in?

Looks like the "newpool" variable hasn't been set properly. As stjbrown said, code would be helpful. - jonm_62062

Do you have a default pool associated to the Virtual Server? - hoolio

Which LTM version are you running? If you're on 10.x, you should use the updated ProxyPass iRule: - jonm_62062

the vs has a default pool defined - Chris_Miller

Can you add additional logging to this part?} else { pool $newpool if { $::ProxyPassDebug > 0 } { log local0. "$log_prefix: Using parsed pool $newpool" }
} else { log local0. "newpool is set to $newpool" pool $newpool if { $::ProxyPassDebug > 0 } { log local0. "$log_prefix: Using parsed pool $newpool" }
