Deploy a Laravel App on AWS EB - inconsistent Sessions - php

I try to Deploy a Laravel App via AWS ElasticBeanstalk with Classic Load Balancer.
I store my laravel sessions in a database on an AWS RDS, the connection is working fine.
It is all working fine, except that every request is generating a new session.
In my .ebextensions I added therefore, session stickiness
option_settings:
aws:elasticbeanstalk:environment:process:default:
Port: '80'
Protocol: HTTP
aws:elb:listener:443:
ListenerProtocol: HTTPS
SSLCertificateId: my_ssl_arn...
InstancePort: 80
InstanceProtocol: HTTP
aws:elb:listener:80:
ListenerEnabled: true
aws:elb:policies:sessionstickiness:
CookieName: laravel_session
LoadBalancerPorts: 443, 80
In the App itself, i force via middleware to use https://
Its Laravel Version 5.5, in the TrustProxiesMiddleware i added:
protected $proxies = '**';
I just don't understand where the problem is and tried already a lot of different settings.
Did anyone get experience with that? What do I oversee here?

Testing WordPress Application

I am attempting to test my AWS EC2 WordPress application that uses nginx & php-fpm for managing incoming requests.
I don't have the means to test the site using the SSL certificate name which is installed onto the ALB, so this has to be done internally and directly at the EC2 instance. It will soon become apparent that my knowledge of WordPress hosting is limited.
I've adopted port forwarding as a means to connect to the application which is detailed here in this article: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-port-forwarding-using-aws-system-manager-sessions-manager/. So by using the following command I can achieve this:
aws ssm start-session --target i-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx --profile username --region eu-west-1 --document-name AWS-StartPortForwardingSession --parameters '{"portNumber":["80"],"localPortNumber":["9999"]}'
I can get the default nginx page to appear if I run http://localhost:9999 from a browser. What I prefer to do is see if I can hit any of the php WordPress pages. This bit is unclear to me. If I this time access http://localhost:9999/site-1 then I encounter a 404. Then by looking in the /var/log/nginx/error.log I see this in more detail.
*[error] 26041#26041: 1 open() "/usr/share/nginx/html/site-1" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 127.0.0.1, server: localhost, request: "GET /whitelines HTTP/1.1", host: "localhost:9999".*
This is further confusion since when I check the EC2 filesystem, I find the site-1 directory structure containing all of the php files under a different location /var/www/site-1.
Not sure why this works using the SSL Certificate name -> ALB -> TG -> EC2 but not by going directly at the EC2.
I suppose what I want to do is, if it possible to verify the sites work without using the Cert ALB route? If so then where am I going wrong?
Thanks!

Configuration of Mercure with Symfony 5

I'm trying to code a chat with Symfony 5 and Mercure, but I have some issues with the configuration. I work with Windows 10.
This is the documentation that I followed : https://github.com/dunglas/mercure/blob/main/docs/hub/install.md
I installed this version on my project: mercure_0.13.0_Windows_arm64.zip.
Then, I decompressed it, and right after in my terminal, I ran "composer require symfony/mercure".
This is in my .env:
# See https://symfony.com/doc/current/mercure.html#configuration
# The URL of the Mercure hub, used by the app to publish updates (can be a local URL)
MERCURE_URL=:https://127.0.0.1:8000/.well-known/mercure
# The public URL of the Mercure hub, used by the browser to connect
MERCURE_PUBLIC_URL=https://127.0.0.1:8000/.well-known/mercure
# The secret used to sign the JWTs
MERCURE_JWT_SECRET="!ChangeMe!"
###< symfony/mercure-bundle ###```
Then I ran the Mercure server with this command line : ```$env:MERCURE_PUBLISHER_JWT_KEY='!ChangeMe!'; $env:MERCURE_SUBSCRIBER_JWT_KEY='!ChangeMe!'; .\mercure.exe run -config Caddyfile.dev```.
In my PowerShell, I have this :
```2021/11/16 01:39:58.029 INFO http server is listening only on the HTTPS port but has no TLS connection policies; adding one to enable TLS {"server_name": "srv0", "https_port": 443}

It seems to run well, but in my browser when I run ```https://localhost/.well-known/mercure```,
I have :
```Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.46 (Win64) OpenSSL/1.1.1h PHP/7.4.25 Server at localhost Port 443```
Someone can help me because I don't know how to access to my Mercure server with my browser ?
Thank you very much
Hey ben you should try and run https://localhost:8000/.well-known/mercure in ur browser
instead of https://localhost/.well-known/mercure
Maybe you've allready figured out this problem in the last 3 months, but here are a thing it came to my mind.
You start Mercure 0.13 in dev mode (Caddyfile.dev) allowing to access the demo page.
(Btw I miss the log entry here which tells you, that the server uses the file specified by you, and should be something like {"level":"info","ts":1646214769.1484525,"msg":"using provided configuration","config_file":"/etc/caddy/Caddyfile.dev","config_adapter":""}) You may want to open this demo page to see if Mercure works or not. The default url is https://localhost/.well-known/mercure/ui/. It may vary depending on your settings. It worth to try also with http.
You don't provide the SERVER_NAME env variable, so I assume caddy attempts to use 80 and 443 ports. Therefore https://127.0.0.1:8000 in symfony config won't work. And 80 might fail if there is already a web server running to provide access for symfony.
You can use SERVER_NAME=:8000 to launch mercure on port 8000, but in this case it will be only http, not https.
So, what I would do in your case, I would start mercure in dev mode, and check the demo page. If both http and https attempts fail, I would start mercure with additional SERVER_NAME (ex. 8000) and check http://localhost:8000/.well-known/mercure/ui/. If nothing goes wrong, one of them should work. And then you can proceed to configure symfony to use the mercury service.

Call php file via axios requert has been blocked by CORS policy in VUE CLI 3

I'm calling php file via axios get method in vue cli 3.
my servers: node js and wamp server
My app (node) path http://localhost:8080/ &
my WAMP path http://localhost:80.
Now I got has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource and I saw https://cli.vuejs.org/config/#devserver-proxy but it's not working for me.
In my vue.config.js
module.exports = {
devServer: {
proxy: 'http://localhost/'
}
}
and my PHP file path in the views folder
http://localhost:80/blog/src/views/php/imageUpload.php
I need to know where I did mistake.
This is the error I'm getting:
And this is my code:
The CORS mechanism is used to enforce the client requests are coming from applications belonging to the same domain as the domain at which the server is deployed by default.In other words, it is to ensure that our own applications are only applications that access our API and to prevent applications belonging to other domains to access it. In your case, the Client application and Server application are using different ports. That breaks the rule
The requests are initiated from application running at 8080 to the server API running at 80, though they are running in the same localhost.The port differs. That's why the CORS errors are thrown.
Please set the header Access-Control-Allow-Origin to localhost:8080 in the your PHP application to allow the cross domain requests.
Please read the Functional overview of CORS mechanism here

SSL on Apache with Nodejs

I am working on Application with nodejs and PHP along with Mysql
PHP is frontend here, nodejs is backend
Now
I created a form and while creating a form
i am sending ajax request to Nodejs
like
url: http://example.com:8124/sign_in
Which is working fine
Now Problem is that
When i enabled ssl on Apache.
now i am unable to send request to Node .
it is giving me error, like
Cross-origin policy , load unsafe content
How to resolve this issue
Thanks
That's not a problem with PHP, rather with JavaScript (AJAX). It's because you're trying to load contents from a server that doesn't use SSL from a web page served via SSL.
Simply enable SSL also on the Node app and it will work.
Edit
I do not recommend creating a proxy server in Node.js.
It's actually a good idea to create a proxy server in front of every Node.js app. Indeed, for safety reasons most websites built with Node.js have a Nginx reverse-proxy in front. That is: users connect to Nginx (chosen over Apache for the much better performances) and Nginx makes a request to the Node.js app.
With this setup, you would actually not need to enable SSL in Node.js, as long as Nginx has SSL enabled.
To use SSL directly in Node.js, you need to add just a couple of lines to your app.js file. See this SO question: How do I setup a SSL certs for an express.js server?
If the servers are on the same hostname (just a different port), then you won't need another SSL certificate; if the servers are on a different hostname (e.g. a subdomain) and your SSL certificate isn't a wildcard one, then you will need another certificate.
Speaking about the port... It's true that HTTPS by default runs on 443, but you're free to change it as you want. Just remember to specify it, for example: https://example.com:8443/
A simple way to enable ssl on node is to use a proxy in front of your application:
var fs = require('fs');
var httpProxy = require('http-proxy');
var privateKey = fs.readFileSync('key.pem').toString();
var certificate = fs.readFileSync('cert.pem').toString();
var chainCertificate = fs.readFileSync('ca.pem').toString();
httpProxy.createServer({
target: {
host: 'localhost',
port: ...your application port...
},
ssl: {
key: privateKey,
cert: certificate,
ca: chainCertificate
}
}).listen(...the port for ssl...);

Setting up haProxy to content switch multiple apps on Appfog

I currently have two apps at AppFog, they are.
http://sru-forums-prod.aws.af.cm/ and http://sru-home-prod.aws.af.cm/
I have haProxy running locally on my computer, this is my current config file.
global
debug
defaults
mode http
timeout connect 500ms
timeout client 50000ms
timeout server 50000ms
backend legacy
server forums sru-forums-prod.aws.af.cm:80
frontend app *:8232
default_backend legacy
The end-goal is that localhost:8232 forwards traffic to sru-home-prod, while localhost:8232/forums/* forwards traffic to sru-forums-prod. However I cant even get a simple proxy up and running.
When I run HAProxy off this config file I receive AppFog 404 Not Found at localhost:8232.
What am I missing, is this even possible?
EDIT:
New config works but now i have a port 60032 coming back in the response.
global
debug
defaults
mode http
timeout connect 500ms
timeout client 50000ms
timeout server 50000ms
backend legacy
option forwardfor
option httpclose
reqirep ^Host: Host:\ sru-forums-prod.aws.af.cm
server forums sru-forums-prod.aws.af.cm:80
frontend app *:8000
default_backend legacy
The reason you are getting an AppFog 404 Not Found is because applications hosted on AppFog are routed by domain name. In order for AppFog to know what app to serve you, the domain name is required to be in the HTTP request. When you go to localhost:8232/forums/ it sends localhost as the domain name which AppFog does not have as a registered app name.
There is a good way to get around this issue
1) Map your application to a second domain name, for example:
af map <appname> sru-forums-prod-proxy.aws.af.cm
2) Edit your /etc/hosts file and add this line:
127.0.0.1 sru-forums-prod-proxy.aws.af.cm
3) Go to http://sru-forums-prod-proxy.aws.af.cm:8232/forums/ which will map to the local machine but will go through your haproxy successfully ending up with the right host name mapped to your app hosted at AppFog.
Here is a working haproxy.conf file that demonstrates how this has worked for us so far using similar methodologies.

timeout connect 500ms
timeout client 50000ms
timeout server 50000ms
