Redirect Web Server

[kherio]

I have 2 web servers on the lan and one of them has no internet.
I would like to be able to access to the lan web server from the internet so i must to redirect a web folder ( /var/www/mail/) from the one which has internet to the other in the lan and which has the webmail server.

btw, I use apache2 on a Debian etch

Is that possible?

Thx in advance

you can try an NFS share/mount , setup a virtual site and see how it goes.

You can also use the reverse proxy feature of Apache. These two tutorials might give you the idea:
http://www.howtoforge.com/apache_rev...roxy_ispconfig
http://www.howtoforge.com/load_balan...proxy_balancer

It's a good idea but i'm not using ispconfig and no balancer
They are 2 diferent servers offering diferent services.

Here is my idea:
http://mypublicdomain/ -> Goes to the main server
http://mypublicdomain/mail -> Must go to a server in the LAN.

That's why im asking to create a virtual server but i have no clue. Is there any good tutorial or a howto?

Thx

Use proxypass like this:

ProxyPass /mail/ http://192.168.1.103:80/
ProxyPassReserve /mail/ http://192.168.1.103:80/

Just change 192.168.1.103 with your second server ip. You also can put this into a VirtualHost.

Hi all,

I already did it. This is my mail VirtualHost file in the sites-enabled folder:

<VirtualHost *>

DocumentRoot "/var/www/mail"
ServerName server2.server.com
ServerAdmin support@mycompany.com
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/$ /mail [L,R]

ProxyRequests On
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyVia full

<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>

ProxyPass /mail/ http://172.18.8.2:80/
ProxyPassReverse /mail/ http://172.18.8.2:80/

</VirtualHost>

Also I created the mail folder under /var/www but I suppose I must create the index.html or php file to redirect all the calls from that directory to the mail server. Does anybody tell me what to type in that file?

Im sorry but i'm newbie in these cases.

Thx

Im sorry but it doesn't work. im a little fool

May I create the mail folder on the Internet Server? Or it doesn't matter?

Can anybody tell me all the lines must I put on the sites-enabled folder?

Thx in advance
