Configuring the Fisheye web server
To configure the server settings, click Server (under 'Server Settings') in the Admin area.
For information on configuring SSL for Fisheye, see FishEye SSL configuration.
Some settings on this page require you to restart Fisheye for changes to take effect.
If you set proxy scheme/host/port values, then sessions accessing the port locally rather than through the reverse proxy will be redirected to the external proxy URL. This means that Application Links set up using the internal address will fail.
If you want to use a connector both internally and externally, you must not set proxy values in the Fisheye configuration, but instead ensure that your proxy server is setting the X-Forwarded-Host header in the requests it sends to Fisheye. Note that the X-Forwarded-Host header does not contain the URL scheme, so the scheme must be the same internally and externally.
