and does not accept my password.
http://bimserver.myserver/apps/bimserverjavascriptapi/
shows a 404

console looks good
logs are clean

edit:
login is your Administrator eMail adress. The server acepts my login now and answers with
WebSocketError
the logs are clean. Is there a way to increase verbosity?

[kilmarnock]

I cannot get beyond the WebSocketError. I start at the initial page, press submit and it is there.
I tried the war files for 1.4 and 1.5 on tomcat7 and tomcat8. Firefox, Chrome, Chromium and IE.
I tried the docker image.
I have seen #224.
My setup is:

router -> server -> apache ProxyPass -> virtual machine -> tomcat
java8 ubuntu14.4

I run some servers (also tomcats) with this setup, no problem at all.
Is it possible to run bimserver with this setup? I can reach it, I can submit information, the WebSocketErroris the enemy. What ports do I need for the WebSockets?

Please give me some advice. I debug in the browser? Port sniffing?

Just enable websockets in your apache proxy

[kilmarnock]

Thank you for your fast reply. I thought that I could find out the rest myself but the logs do not help, the error message in the web frontend is still "WebSocket error". Below is the "Forward any WebSocket" part of the apache conf file. I enabled the mod_proxy_wstunnel after your last reply.

ProxyPass "/ws2/"  "ws://localName:7481/"
ProxyPass "/wss2/" "wss://localName:7481/"

ProxyPassReverse "/ws2/" ws://localName:7481/
ProxyPassReverse "/wss2" wss://localName:7481/

Do I have to redirectws:// traffic to another port than the http://traffic?
Do you use a (any, this?) naming scheme (I think that "/ws2/"is a naming scheme)?

[rubendel]

BIMserver uses "/stream" for both http(ws) and https(wss)

[kilmarnock]

Thank you. For the records:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ProxyPreserveHost On
        ProxyRequests Off
        ServerName yourfancy.name
        <Location "/">
            ProxyPass "ws://localhost:7481/"
         </Location>                                                                                                                                                                                               
        ProxyPass / http://localhost:7481/
        ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:7481/
</VirtualHost>

Using /stream as location did not do it.

There are still errors, see #384

Not sure why you have a DocumentRoot when using Apache Webserver as a proxy. You might have to a a trailing slash according to http://serverfault.com/a/554392
