Typically in my Django projects deployments I use Nginx as a front-end web server to handle static content while proxying all other requests to Apache.
When the request arrives to Apache, the client IP address is127.0.0.1. We need to configure Apache to accept the IP address from X-Real-IP or X-Forwarded-For headers set by Nginx.
To solve this problem I usemod_rpafthat does exactly the opposite ofmod_proxy_add_forward.In my Nginx virtualhost configuration I have something like:
server { ... location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; ... } ... }This also applies if your are using a different webserver as front-end such as Lighttpd or another instance of Apache.
