Resolved How to get ip address with apache listening to localhost

[TorbHo]

Hello,

we used the command

plesk bin apache --listen-on-localhost true

as described in https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/17793065826839

After that we have problems, because some code needs to get the visitor's ip address with PHP

$_SERVER[ 'REMOTE_ADDR' ]

or with .htaccess

Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Is there a solution or workaround to get the visitor's ip address when apache is listening to localhost?

Although a slightly different case, I think that https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12377061126807 could work as a solution.

I tried the solution for

Server-wide solution with Apache only

but I get the error

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf dir or file not found

If I understand correctly, if I could do that, I had to add:

RemoteIPHeader CF-Connecting-IP
RemoteIPTrustedProxy 127.0.0.1

into a new file like:

/etc/httpd/conf.d/localhost.conf

Is that correct?

If you are on Debian/Ubuntu it can be /etc/apache2 instead of /etc/httpd.

I'm sorry, I posted to the wrong location. This thread belongs to Plesk Obsidian for Linux, not Onyx.

Yes, it is Ubuntu. Thank you, I will try it.

I have blocked ports 7080 and 7081 in the Plesk Firewall. To me, this seems to be a better solution and so far, I haven't encountered any problems with it.

Have I overlooked something? Is there any reason not to block these ports in the firewall?

I can now download 18.0.56 Update 2 which seems to fix that problem.
