Topic: ProxyPass into httpd template

[xof]

Hi,

I've been experimenting with proxypass directly into httpd.conf. I've edited the following:

<VirtualHost 0.0.0.0:443>
...
  ProxyPass /wms https://x.x.x.x
    ProxyPassReverse /wms https://x.x.x.x
    <Location /wms>
        SSLRequireSSL
        order deny,allow
        deny from all
        allow from all
    </Location>
...
</VirtualHost>

I don't know if everything I put inthere makes sense but it seems to work.

I've been reading up on the template system but I'm not really sure how I should input this into the templates system? Or should I put this in the configuration database?

There's just one 'difficulty' added. It may only be added to a specific ServerName and not to all VirtualHosts.

Any help appreciated. Wouldn't want to screw up this nice system.

Proxypass is already supported via a db entry

I tried using the proxypass command lines from the link above, but it doesn't work.

What I want to do is forward a vitual folder to an internal server, so I changed the command lines to the following:

db domains set domain.com/virtualfolder domain
db domains setprop domain.com/virtualfolder Nameservers internet
db domains setprop domain.com/virtualfolder ProxyPassTarget http://192.168.2.18
db domains setprop domain.com/virtualfolder TemplatePath ProxyPassVirtualHosts
signal-event domain-create domain.com/virtualfolder

Since I am not actually creating a domain, do I need to change something?

No, it does work, but you are not using it as it is documented.

Yes. You would need to create a custom template to do what you want, or use a redirect and subdomain, or some other scheme.

You now need to do:

db domains delete domain.com/virtualfolder
signal-event domain-modify domain.com

OK, the person who created this thread wanted to create a virtual directory and redirect it to an internal IP address, and then the response says to use proxypass "via a db entry".  Is that just an incorrect response then?

The statement made is true. But it does not completely align with what OP requested.

OP should be able to use a little ingenuity and split the site across a domain and a subdomain, and use ProxyPass as is.

Here are some more notes about configuring proxypass (in this case, to talk to OWA on an internal Exchange 2003 server): http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=40075.0
