simple apache2 reverse proxy setup not working
- by Nick
I know what proxy is (very high level), it's just I have never set up one, and it feels like I might be missing some big fat point here.
My setup:
client
server (static IP), runs apache on port 80
proxy (has 2 network cards, one is on the clients network, the other one with a static IP on the server network), runs apache on port 80
I am trying to configure these three machines so that when client requests:
http://proxy/machine1
It gets served server's pages at server root URL, i.e.
http://server/
I can access client pages just fine. However, when I try accessing a page from the client machine, it simply gets redirected to server's IP address, which it clearly can't access since they are not on the same network:
...
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://server/machine1"></meta>
<title>Redirect</title>
...
My apache2 config is:
LoadModule proxy_module /modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module /modules/mod_proxy_http.so
ProxyRequests off
<Proxy *>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /machine1 http://server:80
<Location /machine1>
ProxyPassReverse /
</Location>
What gives? Thanks!
