    Description

      When a VirtualHost uses ProxyPass to proxy traffic to the backend and uses ProxyErrorOverride to host custom error pages on Apache httpd side, when the backend replies with a 50x error code mod_proxy/mod_cluster marks that worker as down, breaking session stickiness. This behaviour is quite similar to have failonstatus=500 for example.

          Bug - A problem that impairs or prevents the functions of the product. JWS-362 ProxyErrorOverride=On causes workers in error state after 500 errors

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.
