Hi everyone,

I'm blocked about the configuration of kibana5 behind a IIS reverse proxy.  
I'm trying to redirect myserver/kibana5/ to localhost:5602 (my kibana is cfg with this port because we have two kibana for moment).  
When i'm trying to access to my kibana throught myserver/kibana5/, the url is modified to myserver/app/kibana so it doesn't work.  
Here my IIS cfg :  
\< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?\>  
\< configuration\>  
\< system.webServer\>  
\< rewrite\>  
\< rules\>  
\< clear /\>  
\< rule name="Redirect to Kibana v5" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true"\>  
\< match url="(._)" /\>  
\< conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false" /\>  
\< action type="Rewrite" url="[http://localhost:5602/{R:1}](http://localhost:5602/%7BR:1%7D)" logRewrittenUrl="false" /\>  
\< /rule\>  
\< /rules\>  
\< rewriteMaps\>  
\< rewriteMap name="(._)" /\>  
\< /rewriteMaps\>  
\< /rewrite\>  
\< /system.webServer\>  
\< /configuration\>

Here my kibana cfg

> ```
> # Kibana is served by a back end server. This setting specifies the port to use.
> server.port: "5602"
> 
> ```

> ```
> # This setting specifies the IP address of the back end server.
> server.host: "0.0.0.0"
> 
> ```

> ```
> # Enables you to specify a path to mount Kibana at if you are running behind a proxy. This setting
> # cannot end in a slash.
> server.basePath: "C:\soft\kibana-5.1.1-windows-x86"
> 
> ```

Could you try setting `server.basePath` to `myserver/kibana5`?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.  
I have set my basebath to "/kibana5" and I can access to Kibana but I have the menu on the left and a blank page.  
It seem not loaded correctly .

Fixed by adding in webconfig :

> \< system.web\>  
> \< httpRuntime requestPathInvalidCharacters="" requestValidationMode="2.0" /\>  
> \< /system.web\>
