I have a smoothly running FreeBSD box with a couple of jails running their own servers.

Nginx runs in its own jail and the main machine uses pf to redirect all http/s requests to Nginx. Nginx checks the requested domain name and does a proxy-pass to the appropriate jail.

This is my first time using Apache/PHP as I just decided to install opencart on a new jail.

The trouble is when I load up the opencart install page, it gets the index.php correctly but then it looks for all the other static files in bad places like this: http://192.168.100.4/install/view/stylesheet/stylesheet.css - which is basically the internal address of the jail.

I need it to look for the same file, using the domain name instead of the IP address like so: http://shop.foobar.com/install/view/stylesheet/stylesheet.css

I am almost (because there are many variables involved) sure this can be done by some php/apache setting, but I haven't been able to figure out how, despite having spent too much time on google. Is the problem due to Apache or something else (pf?), and how can I fix it? Given the annoying nature of this problem, clues might be just as useful as answers.

    I don't know how opencart determines its domain name. It's either configured or it's deduced from the Host header. Are you setting the Host header in Nginx? Commented Apr 28, 2020 at 18:08
  • No, I'm not setting anything in Nginx for this domain/server. Just: location / { proxy_pass internal.ip:port; } So everything is handled by Apache. Because most documentation on opencart use Apache, so I wanted to be able to recreate that "standard" setup as far as possible. Commented Apr 28, 2020 at 18:16
  • @RichardSmith you are a genius! Or at least, you solved my immediate problem. I used Nginx to fix it, thanks to your idea. serverfault.com/questions/598202/… Commented Apr 28, 2020 at 18:46
