Issue Plesk Panel X-Forwarded-For

[Chris Lemmer]

Hi there,

In front of my Plesk server, I have an apache reverse proxy. So I've had to modify the config files of my vhosts to log the correct X-Forwarded-For IP. I this this by modifying the following file as follows:

File: /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/domain/domainVirtualHost.php

LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
LogFormat "%{X-Forwarded-For}i %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"[XF %{X-Forwarded-For}i]" proxy
SetEnvIf X-Forwarded-For "^.*\..*\..*\..*" forwarded
CustomLog "<?php echo $VAR->domain->physicalHosting->logsDir ?>/<?php echo $OPT['ssl'] ? 'access_ssl_log' : 'access_log' ?>" combined env=!forwarded
CustomLog "<?php echo $VAR->domain->physicalHosting->logsDir ?>/<?php echo $OPT['ssl'] ? 'access_ssl_log' : 'access_log' ?>" proxy env=forwarded

Now, this works very nicely and each vhost generated by this file , logs correctly. However, I'm still struggling to get the actual Plesk panel to log correctly as well. When I tail the actual Plesk log, it still looks like this:

tail -f /usr/local/psa/admin/logs/httpsd_access_log

192.168.1.3 - - [02/Feb/2017:10:12:56 +0200] "GET /javascript/jsw.min.js?1485827310 HTTP/1.1" 304 0 "https://plesk-host01.mydomain.xx.xx...url=https://plesk-host01.mydomain.xx.xx:8443/" "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 10_2_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/602.4.6 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/10.0 Mobile/14D27 Safari/602.1" "41.13.86.76"'/javascript/jsw.min.js' '' '/usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs

In my case, 192.168.1.3 is the IP of my reverse proxy. So my question is, what config file should I modify in order to make it show the X-forwarded-For IP as above?

Thanks
Chris
