Topic: SME 7 forward to SME6 can this be done

By the way, in your hostnames you're using 'Remote' where you shoudl be using 'local'

Self = Self
Local = LAN
Remote = Internet

And in future create your own thread

Could you set up your new server with a different Public IP address, then copy your websites across to the new server, and update your public DNS entries with the new IP address.

Nick, just what the doctor ordered, thanks!

No probs, glad to help.

Good Morning,

I apologize, I guess I missed the "RTFM" portion of this thread. By the way, I love your tact and political skills. It makes me just want to continue to be a part of this community.

BTW, it didn't work. I've found a workaround.

[NickCritten]

Glad to hear it

BTW, "Search" & RTFM are interchangable as far as I'm concerned.

this way you wouldn't have to set up proxypass, and you can move your domains one by one at your leisure.

Of course, the is dependant upon you having multiple Public IP's, which you may not have.

I have actually tried that but it is impossible for me to get multiple public IP's. That would by far have been the easiest solution.

Did you create proxypass entries ? It very easy to do.

[NickCritten]

I agree with Ray,

In the absense of Multiple IP's, Proxypass is the way to go.

Ray, I do not understand the concept of proxypass, have you got time to explain
Many thanks. chris

From the sme6 contrib panel
ProxyPass configuration
The ProxyPass module allows Apache to be configured to pass requests for specified URLs or entire virtual domains, through to other internal or external web sites.

The sme 6 contrib allows you to create ProxyPass URL entries (you can allow http & https requests)
or ProxyPass virtual domain entries
eg Target is the URL of an internal or external web site.
Example: http://192.168.1.10/ or http://domain.com/
 
I have not used the sme7 proxypass contrib as yet so am not sure of it's capabilities.

no i haven't tried that yet.

my server is running in Server-only mode. Is that okay or does it need to be server-gateway ?

You would use proxypass on your gateway server, which you said earlier was an SME7 box running in server-gateway mode...

If both boxes are running in Server-only mode behind a router, it should still work though.
