Description

Hi,
i installed Gitea on my Odroid and i am using it via SSL. It works properly accessing it on the internal ip address or its provided ServerName like defined in apache vhost. Because i have my host behind a NAT i am forwarding it to another server to access it from outside via the real sub domain. So i got

Server A behind NAT (static public ip, port forwarding via my home Router) - with Apache 2.4 running ReverseProxy (forwards http to https)
Server B in public - with Apache 2.4 running ReverseProxy

This all works fine without any errors in log files. The only problem: font awesome icons are not loaded and not displayed but without any error message. The problem does not occure on every place in UI but for example in the user edit menu.

The funny thing is that i set all vhosts to loglevel debug and no error log on Server A or B tell me sth about missing ressources which could not be loaded. also firefox/edge inspectors show absolutely zero error on console

...

Screenshots

###Loading it directly from the host accessing it's IP adress / ServerName as provided in apache vhost

###Loading it via Reverse Proxy from another host

Do you have any idea what could cause this?

some addition: i compared the access logs when accessing on internal ip vs accessing from outside.

there are 3 files which are not loaded:

Check in browser development tools (F12) if there are any errors in console

I had the same problem and found this issue with google. I'm using Apache as a reverse proxy and all font awesome icons were missing with no error in the console.

After disabling ModPageSpeed on my gitea virtualhost, icons are showing.
