White screen issue with reverse proxy

Help
1

1. Caddy version (caddy version):

newest version as of 8/23/2020

2. How I run Caddy:

caddy run

a. System environment:

Windows 10 x64

b. Command:

caddy run

c. Service/unit/compose file:

n/a

d. My complete Caddyfile or JSON config:

{
admin off
}

http://localhost {

reverse_proxy http://localhost:2001 http://localhost:2002 {
	lb_policy first
	lb_try_duration 10s
}

}

3. The problem I’m having:

I have something running on port 2002 and not 2001. Instead of noticing that localhost:2001 doesn’t lead anywhere and switching to localhost:2002, it just gives me a white screen…

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

5. What I already tried:

I tried messing with lb_try_duration and lb_try_interval to no avail.

And it works okay if you configure Caddy to only proxy to 2002?

I think you need to enable passive or active health checking for the “availability” clause of the first policy to work.

Actually, I think this is a firewall issue. You might need to set a rule for the caddy.exe binary to have permissions to communicate over TCP/UDP.

hi. Thank you for the reply.

I don’t think its the port causing the issue, It seems to be the specific lb_policy of first. (Or the fact that the first entry doesn’t lead anywhere.
