I am trying to expose a (Dockerize) Nexus 3 NPM registry behind Apache HTTPD on CentOS.

I have this virualhost:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName              ci-cd.domain
        DocumentRoot            /var/www/cicd

        ProxyRequests           Off
        ProxyPreserveHost       on

        # Allow Encoded Slashes for Nexus NPM
        AllowEncodedSlashes    On
        AllowEncodedSlashes     NoDecode

        #
        #Nexus
        #
        Redirect                /nexus          /nexus/
        ProxyPass               /nexus/         http://localhost:10000/nexus/ nocanon
        ProxyPassReverse        /nexus/         http://localhost:10000/nexus/
</VirtualHost>

I also added the above two lines at the end of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

# Allow Encoded Slashes for Nexus NPM
AllowEncodedSlashes On
AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode

However when I try to push a npm package with a @scope and hence a slash in the name, I always get a 404 error.

I tried to publish the same npm package but without the slash and it is working. Therefore I am sure the problem is with apache, also considering the other questions and websites I found about the problem.

This is the error I get:

Your logs suggest your are using SSL.
Add the AllowEncodedSlashes On directive into the SSL virtualhost
