Local domain remap with proxy

    Hello I want to create a local sandbox for my wordpress and keep the exact same hostname than my hosting server; so when I re-upload all and the database everything stays 1:1.

    I can’t do it via windows hosts file in windows because I need a different port than 80 and don’t want to set wordpress site url to something like mydomain.com:8080

    I’ve tried set it up with FoxyProxy with some regex rules: I.E. redirect mydomain.com -> 192.168.0.x port: 8080

    Eveyrhting works except wordpress: It creates this 301 infinite redirect and final url looks like so:

    http://mydomain.comhttp//mydomain.comhttp//mydomain.com (note the missing colons on the next ones)

    One of the header looks like so:

    
Status Code:301 Moved Permanently Remote Address:192.168.0.10:80

    Is there any particular reason you configured Apache to use port 8080 and not port 80? Reconfiguring Apache to use port 80 should solve your problem…

    My ISP blocks port 80 🙁
    + I find that foxyproxy tool very neat for switching back and forth, from whereever i am. ALl works (admin panel, login) Except that index, redirect 🙁

    Just found what I was looking for I will investigate tonight why the path is wrong in the canonincal function:

    
array(8) {
  [0]=>
  array(4) {
    ["file"]=>
    string(69) "/home/mydomain/www/public_html/mydomain.com/wp-includes/canonical.php"
    ["line"]=>
    int(516)
    ["function"]=>
    string(11) "wp_redirect"
    ["args"]=>
    array(2) {
      [0]=>
      &string(37) <strong>"http://mydomain.comhttp/mydomain.com/"</strong>
      [1]=>
      &int(301)
    }
  }
  [1]=>
  array(2) {
    ["function"]=>
    string(18) "redirect_canonical"
    ["args"]=>
    array(1) {
      [0]=>
      &string(0) ""
    }
  }

    Found the problem / the solution:

    while using the proxy, the servers variable REQUEST_URI is not the same

    using FoxyProxy, server var ‘REQUEST_URI’ return the full url:

    $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’]
    -> “hxxp://mydomain.com/theurl”

    using windows host file, server var ‘REQUEST_URI’ return just the end of the url:
    $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’]
    -> “/theurl”

    so I added this to the wordpress index.php and everything works #1 😀 :

    
    $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = requesturl_format($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
    
    function requesturl_format($m_host, $m_request){
    	$m_regex = sprintf('#(https?://)(%s)(/.*)#', $m_host);
    
    	if(preg_match( $m_regex, $m_request, $matches)){
    		if(count($matches) == 4){
    
    			$m_host = ($matches[1]);
    			$m_domain = ($matches[2]);
    			$m_url_req = ($matches[3]);
    			return $m_url_req;
    		}
    	}
        return $m_request;
    }

    I’m glad you were able to resolve your issue. That is a fairly serious bug in the proxy program you’re using. If I were you, I would do var_dumps of $_SERVER with the proxy program enabled and disabled, and check whether anything else is incorrect. SCRIPT_NAME, SCRIPT_FILENAME, PHP_SELF, QUERY_STRING and DOCUMENT_ROOT would probably be the most important.
