This could be the cause of your problems. Try setting up discourse on a server without any panels or reverse proxies installed and report if you experience the same problem.

As a first step, start by ammending the location block for discourse to match up with the details provided here: [Run other websites on the same machine as Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/running-other-websites-on-the-same-machine-as-discourse/17247)
