Hi all,
I've been banging my head against the wall for a week trying to get MediaWiki to work through an SSL reverse proxy. In my case stunnel, but the same should apply to any reverse proxy.
Media Wiki incorrectly determines the IP, port, and protocol when running through a reverse proxy. It assumes that the host address is the internet facing address. When using a reverse proxy this is not the case.
I have documented my solution briefly here:
