Illegal request

[ebauger]

I use the latest version of vtiger-demo (javanile/vtiger:7.1.0)

At the login and other menu a got this message.

Hi @ebauger, could you please set this:

environment:
      - VT_SITE_URL=http://localhost:8080
      - MYSQL_HOST=mysql
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=vtiger
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=secret

To set in the right way Vtiger SITE URL use the proper environment variable VT_SITE_URL

Giving up on vtiger - a demo in my eyes should run immediately. Problems I encountered:

• Illegal request popup
  => changed URL in docker-compose as mentioned here to http://localhost:8080
• The change above resulted in a endless http loop, thus browser complains too many redirects (see screenshot)
  
  => after inspecting the default.conf for nginx, changed URL mentioned above again to https://localhost/
• This resulted in an SSL error: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG
  => added TSLv1.3 in the default.conf
• finally got it working by going to https://localhost/

Lost a lot time for a simple demo 😞

Actually it is a bit confusing. But I got it working by just using your last tip @rdehuyss:

finally got it working by going to https://localhost/

Then you have to add an SSL exception for localhost in the browser and it just works.

I guess the README should be changed to say

3. Visit `http://localhost/` login with username `admin` and password `admin`. If your browser complains about SSL, add an exception for localhost.

Could you fix it so that I could use it after I run docker-compose? I am a first-time user and is having this problem.

@jakepu I created an alternative Dockerfile only which runs all services on the same host , for demo purposes only here https://github.com/nileio/vtiger-crm

I can't run your demo

I had a similar issue today "Illegal request" -> tried the solution proposed above but didn't manage to have it working :/
