I am still struggling with this.

On a yum updated server:

- Apache logging in access_log is correct and logs the real ip of the 
visitor, but error_log does not and logs the ip of nginx.

- websites with a access restriction based on the clients ipaddress 
don't work. The error_log confirms that this is becuase the access 
restrictions are being tested against the ipaddress of the nginx proxy. 
To correct this, I have to add 3 lines to Apache config:
RemoteIPHeader X-Forwarded-For
RemoteIPInternalProxy a.b.c.d
RemoteIPTrustedProxy a.b.c.d

Kind regards

Maurice
