[webmin-l] webmin and apache proxypass

[Rene C. <re...@dc...>]

Hi,

I cant seem to get webmin, and the apache proxypass directive working
together.

My main goal is to leave webmin listening on port 10000 but when
clients browse to http://webmin.domain.com, apache's virtualhost kicks
in and redirects them to https://webmin.domain.com:10000.

Ive read http://www.webmin.com/apache.html but when using the proxypass
solution my browser spits out

<snip>
Error - No cookies

Your browser does not support cookies, which are required for this web
server to work in session authentication mode
</snip>

Setting session=0 in /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf fixes this, but then i
miss out on having the webmin based login screen. 

It also appears that the webmin user and configuration modules doesnt work when this is set.

Apache config looks like this

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName webmin.domain.com
    ProxyPass / https://webmin.domain.com:10000/
    ProxyPassReverse / https://webmin.domain.com:10000/
</VirtualHost>

Is anyone else using apache virtualhosts and webmin with success? Is there a way to get apache proxypass and webmin/miniserv working together without loosing any webmin/miniserv features?
