Hello!

Trying to add nodeRed to an existing 2-server setup where both servers run apache and server #1 uses ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse to handle the traffic between the backend server and the internet.

Right now server #1 fields domain names and uses a cert from letsencrypt for SSL.  
To encrypt between the 2 servers, server #2 which does not have any named domains in the setup, uses a self-signed cert.

I want to run nodeRed on server #2 and access through server #1 using ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse.

In the settings file I:

1. uncommented the fs module so as to load it.
2. changed the port number for obsuscation.
3. set requireHttps to true.

I set the https .key and .pem paths to:  
/usr/local/lib/node\_modules/node-red/node\_modules/agent-base/test/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key  
/usr/local/lib/node\_modules/node-red/node\_modules/agent-base/test/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem

These were included in the installation and I thought I would use them to test.

Upon doing so, and directing the virtual host on server #1 to ProxyPass  
[https://MYDOMAINNAME.com/node](https://MYDOMAINNAME.com/node) to https://IP-OF-SERVER-#2:XXXX

The interface attempts to load, but all the dependent files (css, js, etc) fail to load and return 404 because paths and files such as [https://MYDOMAINNAME.com/red/red.min.js](https://MYDOMAINNAME.com/red/red.min.js) do not exist and I do not know how to direct them.

Is this a lost cause?

Thanks for your time.
