I tried to install cb2.0 nginx_apache yesterday,apache can't get the real client ip

Apache/2.4.10 nginx 1.6.1
I edit the httpd.conf file to use built-in module mod_remoteip.so

#LoadModule remoteip_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_remoteip.so
RemoteIPHeader X-Real-IP
RemoteIPInternalProxy 127.0.0.1

but i still can't get the real client ip,the server-status page show all 127.0.0.1

any suggestion?
 
Hello,

It gets real IPs, you may see in $_SERVER with PHP or in apache logs; but it shows incorrect IP in apache's server status.

Make sure to have unzip installed on your server:

RHEL/CentOS
Code:
yum install unzip

Debian/Ubuntu
Code:
apt-get install unzip

You need to install mod_rpaf for that, as remoteip is buggy in this case:

Code:
cd /usr/local/src
wget [URL]https://github.com/y-ken/mod_rpaf/archive/master.zip[/URL]
unzip master.zip
cd mod_rpaf-master
/bin/sed -i "s/remote_/client_/g" mod_rpaf-2.0.c
make && make install

and insert following instructions:

Code:
LoadModule rpaf_module      /usr/lib/apache/mod_rpaf-2.0.so
<IfModule mod_rpaf-2.0.c>
    RPAFenable On
    RPAFproxy_ips 127.0.0.1 11.22.33.44
    RPAFsethostname On
    RPAFheader X-Client-IP
</IfModule>

into /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-includes.conf

and replace 11.22.33.44 with a list of all public ips on your network device.

and restart apache.
 
it works.thanks.
but When I use Cloudflare or Incapsula CDN services,it seems only show client ip of the proxy ips(cloudflare ips or incapsula ips),
and i have already added their ips to the list.any suggestion?
 
Do they [Cloudflare or Incapsula CDN] send a real ip of your visitors and how?
 
thank you all folks.
I have found answer via http://centminmod.com/nginx_configure_cloudflare.html

I have to modify nginx instead of apache.

simplely add these code to /etc/nginx/nginx.cof and it works.
# Incapsula
set_real_ip_from 199.83.128.0/21;
set_real_ip_from 198.143.32.0/19;
set_real_ip_from 149.126.72.0/21;
set_real_ip_from 103.28.248.0/22;
set_real_ip_from 45.64.64.0/22;
set_real_ip_from 185.11.124.0/22;
set_real_ip_from 192.230.64.0/18;
real_ip_header X-Forwarded-For;
 
You probably need to replace

Code:
real_ip_header X-Forwarded-For;

with
Code:
real_ip_header X-Client-IP;

in nginx.conf and remember to modify /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/configure/nginx_reverse/conf/nginx.conf and copy it to /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/nginx_reverse/conf/nginx.conf
 
@zEitEr,
so far it works fine now,
I have checked the httpd logs,
everything looks good,and apache server-status page shows correct ips.:D
 
To protect your changes in nginx.conf you are recommended to put them into /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/configure/nginx_reverse/conf/nginx.conf and copy it to /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/nginx_reverse/conf/nginx.conf. Otherwise you might lose them.
 
Some news: ap_get_remote_host() should be fixed today in Apache trunk so that server/core.c would correctly return useragent_ip, and not client_ip :) And patching could be included into CB 2.0 then.
 
A patch is now added to CB 2.0 :) So, "./build update; ./build apache" is enough to fix the problem
 
I hate to re-open an old thread, but I am facing to this trouble in 2 servers. Both are running DA 1.49.1 with CB 2.0.0 (rev: 1457). Server-status page always shows the server IP, not user IPs. Here is the compiled modules. Do I miss anything?

What's the version of apache? Please check "httpd -v".
 
I am using 2.4.17. But all are fine after running "./build rewrite_confs". Is that command fixing apache/nginx only, or other configurations such as exim, ftp, etc. too?

Thanks.
 
The command affects WWW server configs only (in your case nginx&apache).
 
It would be nice that the command shows what it did with the config, or at least which file it restored :)

Thanks.
