I have Umbraco 4 installed on a server, behind a proxy server.
The site is in a development stage at the moment. It is fairly large site with 1,500 pages and a fair amount of related documents and images.
In the first week after installation the site worked but was very slow.
In the second week the site stopped rendering correctly: it renders in IE 7, after 5 minutes, without css styles and images and it doesn't render in the latest version of Firefox.
I've had a network person look at it and the concluded:
1. Direct access to the site from a Lynx text based browser work and the pages appear and the site is browsable. 2. The web page url's do appear to be getting rewritten 3. Directly accesses Image or CSS files don't seem to work, maybe all file type are like this 4. Accessing a non existing url is returning a 404 error 5. Disabeling javascript does allow pages to render in my Firefox 3! 6. Bypassing the "Firewall / HTTP Protocol filter" didn't make any difference 7. Upgraded to the latest release of the reverse proxy application didn't make a difference
My guess is that the issue is related to either javascript or hostheaders / http 1.1. If the javascipt issue is fixed there will still be an issue with other file type that I don't know how to fix.
The server specification is listed below:
Windows Virtual Server 2003
SQL Server 2005
2gb, 180Gb Storage (Raid-5)
IIS 6
If anyone has any experience of similar problems with proxy servers, please let me know. Of course, I'm pretty inexperienced with Umbraco so the problem may be unrelated to the proxy servers, however, it does appear to be the problem.
