New installation 2.2.6 failed
Describe the bug When opening pad after new installation of etherpad , I have the error : "Error: Reconnect timed out" Etherpad version 2.2.6 pnpm version: 9.12.3 Apache 2 with SSL enabled and configuration https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/wiki/How-to-put-Etherpad-Lite-behind-a-reverse-Proxy#with-ssl-enabled
To Reproduce New installation : npm install -g pnpm git clone -b master https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite.git etherpad pnpm i pnpm run build:etherpad chown -R etherpad:etherpad /home/etherpad pnpm run prod
Error

I maybe need help how to even get the reverse proxy installed. Could you please give me a quickstart on how to install apache? I need some modules but no idea how to install or where to get them
On Debian :
apt install apache2
Activate proxy modules : a2enmod proxy proxy_http headers proxy_wstunnel deflate
Edit virtualhost in /etc/apache2/sites-available/etherpad.conf https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/wiki/How-to-put-Etherpad-Lite-behind-a-reverse-Proxy#apache
Activate virtualhost : a2ensite etherpad
Restart Apache2 : systemctl reload apache2
I get Nov 06 21:22:12 ubuntu apachectl[13570]: Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
It all works with the basic script for me. I copied 1 to 1. Socket IO works even websockets are succesfully connected.
If I use the very basic script, I have "Uncaught Error: Reconnect timed out". If I delete one line and add 2 in <Location /socket.io>:
- RewriteRule /(.*) ws://localhost:9001/socket.io/$1 [P,L]
+ ProxyPass ws://localhost:9001/socket.io
+ ProxyPassReverse ws://localhost:9001/socket.io
It all works ! I saw it in this issue with the same padbootstrap-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.min.js:56 Uncaught Error : https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/issues/6693
Strange... Perhaps something to change here : https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/wiki/How-to-put-Etherpad-Lite-behind-a-reverse-Proxy#apache
Could be. Did you have any success in experimenting with the apache config?
I think that there is a problem with the apache config on the new versions of etherpad > 2.1.0 proposed here :
https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/wiki/How-to-put-Etherpad-Lite-behind-a-reverse-Proxy#apache
The line RewriteRule /(.*) ws://localhost:9001/socket.io/$1 [P,L] is blocking and needs to be deactivated
Then you have to add these 2 lines
ProxyPass ws://localhost:9001/socket.io
ProxyPassReverse ws://localhost:9001/socket.io
Hi,
same error today after git pull & docker rebuild today.
I try with and without the RewriteRule in apache config. Works many months until today.
Seems really related to apache proxy conf, with vpn and direct ip access everything works.

@SamTV12345 Can you get a look please, of course also with disabled Rewrite Rule line
Our 2.2.6 installation randomly stopped working with the same "Error: Reconnect timed out". Logs were identical to those posted above.
It turned out it was the browser/workstation, a restart sorted it. Worth a try.
I've a similar error. The documentation doesn't mention to set previliges for the etherpad folder like ´chown -R etherpad:etherpad /home/etherpad´. Besided the user and group does not exist on my system.
If it used to work before for you, but stopped.
The problems come from apache changing how websocket proxies are configured in version >=2.4.47, apparently.
I figured this out via https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/discussions/3598#discussioncomment-6355293 so props there.
Check your version
$ apache2 -v
And replace something like
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} transport=websocket [NC]
RewriteRule /(.*) ws://localhost:9001/socket.io/$1 [P,L]
ProxyPass http://localhost:9001/socket.io retry=0 timeout=30
ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:9001/socket.io
to only
ProxyPass ws://localhost:9001/socket.io upgrade=websocket timeout=30
ProxyPassReverse ws://localhost:9001/socket.io
