I have an apache reverse proxy running at 192.168.1.5
Netbox instance running at 192.168.1.6.
gunicorn running bound to 0.0.0.0:8001

Revprox config:

        <Location /netbox>
                RequestHeader set "X-Forwarded-Proto" expr=%{REQUEST_SCHEME}
                ProxyPass http://10.97.5.123:8001
                ProxyPassReverse http://http://10.97.5.123:8001
        </Location>

On Netbox configuration.py includes both 192.168.1.6 and 192.168.1.5 in the ALLOWED_HOSTS

This wasn't working at all until I added base_url in configuration.py to include 'opt/netbox/netbox/static'

However the connection complains about not being able to find certain files.

"404 NOT FOUND: 192.168.5.5opt/netbox/netbox/static/media-failure/?filename=select2-bootstrap-0.1.0-beta.10/select2-bootstrap.min.css"

Maybe i'm missing something here in my main apache config?
