Error message v 9.1 - metastorm/metastorm/default.aspx does not exist - reverse proxy rewriting

We are getting a wierd application error The file '/Metastorm/metastorm/Default.aspx' does not exist. on a upgraded install of 9.1 hfx 2. Curiously the administration site works ok. Its running on win2003 server VM. Similar VMs on version 9.0 of BPM seem to work fine and its only happening when connecting over the network. works fine when remoted into the VM itself.

Maybe i should remove and do a clean install?

Anyone else had this?

Should have mentioned - this is behind a apache reverse proxy - is it rewriting?

The following was introduced in 9.0.1.1 (which will be included in 9.0.1.2) and might have an impact:

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Clearing the browser’s temporary files and cookies causes the Web Client to be accessed through the real BPM Web Client address although a reverse proxy is configured to access the Web Client. (Metastorm# SR-03232011-0003, SR-08102011-0004, DEF18521, DEF18381)

To overcome the issue, new entries ReverseProxyHost, ReverseProxyPort, and ReverseProxyScheme settings have been added to the Web Client’s web.config file:

where:

ReverseProxyHost should specify the reverse proxy URL without the "http://" string preceding the URL.

proxy-url should specify the proxy server URL.

where:

ReverseProxyPort should specify the reverse proxy port. The port can be left empty or disabled. In this case, the port number will be taken from the request.

proxyport should specify the proxy server port.

where:

ReverseProxyScheme should specify either HTTP or HTTPS as the value depending on the type of protocol of the proxy server.

proxy-url-schema should specify the reverse proxy URL scheme.

By default these new settings are disabled.
