comments not loading

[RavikumarTulugu]

I know this is another silly issue, but pls bear with me. i have done 99% of debugging before posting this.
I am trying to load comments from a subdomain. I am using openlitespeed webserver with virtual host for each subdomain.
I am using context type as proxy with external server [ remark : localhost: 8080 ]. The remark server is hosted behind openlitespeed server on port 8080 with out ssl. I am using openlitespeed as a reverse proxy with rewrite rules https to http.

on tcp dump i am seeing following requests and responses to and from remark server.
HTTP: GET /comments/web/last-comments.mjs HTTP/1.1
HTTP: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

is the URI path reaching the remark server correct ??

here are my rewrite rules.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} =/comments/*
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{SERVER_NAME}:8080/$1 [R,L]

on chrome console :
(index):37 GET https://www.playme.one/comments/web/last-comments.mjs net::ERR_ABORTED 404

I am not running docker and just running binary as below . is there any setup needed before running the binary ??
./remark42.linux-amd64 server --url=https://www.playme.one/comments --secret="abcdefghijkl" --site="foobillard" --dbg

please advise.

moved to the discussion as this seems to be "how to set up" sort of question

[umputun]

from what I can see, remark42 is reachable on https://www.playme.one/comments, i.e. https://www.playme.one/comments/ping hits it. However, I don't see the expected response on https://www.playme.one/comments/web, which is strange. Smth is not right with your configuration, not sure what

[RavikumarTulugu]

Please find my frontend configuration.

<script> var remark_config = { host: 'https://www.playme.one/comments', site_id: 'foobillard', components: ['last-comments'], max_shown_comments: 20, theme: 'dark', locale: 'en', show_email_subscription: false, simple_view: false }; </script> <script> !function(e,n){for(var o=0;o

pasting http request body hitting the remark42 server, i suspect the rewrite rules messing up the URL which remark42 is rejecting.

I don't think this is your proxy issue, but rather a limitation of our binary distribution, which has a very limited support for adjusting asset's URL on the startup. We have a ticket about this and planning to change the way how we do it - instead of modifying multiple html/js files initially, to always serve them with the internal router.

In a mean time I'd suggest switching to the recommended docker-based configuration.

[RavikumarTulugu]

Thank you for getting back, the reason i opted for binary is to keep my setup and arch simple. i can wait for any patch or new binary release.

[RavikumarTulugu]

as suspected rewrite rules were messing up. after fixing rewrite rules, every thing worked fine.

[hycday]

can you please share the adjusted rewrite rules please to make this work ? I am also trying to make remark42 work with openlitespeed and I don't know how to do the reverse proxy part...
