If you use proxying then your servlet container will not see, which host
name was used for the request! all requests will come in through 127.0.0.1 !

So, if you use a proxy configuration like this:

        ProxyPass         /
http://127.0.0.1:8081/opencms/
        ProxyPassReverse  /
http://127.0.0.1:8081/opencms/


I would expect that you need to use a site config like THAT:
   <site server="127.0.0.1:8081" uri="/sites/default/"/>
   <site server="127.0.0.1:8082" uri="/sites/default/"/>

You seem to have more than one site. If you have a multi-site
environment and if you at the same time hide your servlet container
behind apache (which is a good idea) then you need one *individual*
connector for *each* site. Only like this opencms will still be able to
distinguish, which request should be assigned to which online site, by
assigning each connector port to a different site.

I'm not so much into proxy config, but generally speaking you would have
to proxy your second site against port :8082 so that your 2nd site can
work as well.


(In offline mode [or: more exactly with a user that is logged in - be it
online or offline] it works only, because the session of a logged-in
user is *stronger* in determining the website that is currently used)


no guarantee that this is right, but I think the way your opencms site
config is now, it cannot work.
