Apache/Varinish redirecting mydomain.com/folder to mydomain.com:8080/folder/

Question

I’ve set up Apache/Varnish but when I try to access a folder on the domain, such as mydomain.com/whatever it is redirecting to mydomain.com:8080/whatever/ and I’m getting a page not available. However when I access mydomain.com/whatever/ with a trailing “/” at the end everything works fine. I’m pretty new to Varnish so any help troubleshooting would be appreciated.

Is Apache listening on 8080 publicly? Usually the way to do it is have Apache listening on the local loopback device. What’s the Varnish backend configuration?

backend default {
    .host = "127.0.0.1";
    .port = "8080";
}

In /etc/apache2/ports.conf you should set Apache to listen locally:

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080
Listen 127.0.0.1:8080

And your VirtualHost should look like:

 <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080>
