mod_proxy / rewrite rules

[KenKnight]

Hi all,

I'm trying to test the mod_proxy stuff here. My goal is to have a XP server running apache behind my linux box and then if the URL has /app in it, it will pull from the xp server for my dynamic content applications I'm writing.

The reason for this is the engine that I'm using has more features and is more powerful on the windows side vs the linux side.

So in ISPconfig for my site, as a test, I added the following to the apache directives area;
======================================

ProxyRequests Off

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

ProxyPass /app http://192.168.11.1
ProxyPassReverse /app http://192.168.11.1

=======================================

However, after a save and check again, I get 'NOT SUPPORT' messages with my stuff commented out. So my question is, how do I accomplish this?

Thanks,
Ken

PS. I'm basically sending it to my router website as a test.

Is mod_proxy enabled in your Apache configuration?

[KenKnight]

Hi Falko,

Thanks for replying. Doh! No I didn't have it enabled. I issued a a2enmod proxy which appears to be the mod_proxy.so module.

After enabling it, it still did not work, so I decided to try some different settings. By using the Directory directive. Still no joy.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Ken

As you are on a local LAN (and probably not direct Internet link), you could try

ProxyRequests On

Thanks Martin. . . nope, didn't work.

Hi all,

Looks like the problem is that my ISPconfig is not updating the Vhosts file. Any reason why it would stop writing to the file??

Thanks,
Ken

You can locate the error as described here:

Thanks till. Still no go on getting ISPConfig to update the vhosts file.

How can I "Force" ISPConfig to rewrite the entire file?

Thanks,
Ken

You can not force it or it will break your apache configuration. Thats why ISPConfig does not update it.

Please locate the error as described in the thread I posted above:

1) Make a backup of /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf
2) Rename the latest file /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf_.... that has a date appended to /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf
3) run

httpd -t

and post the output.

Hi Till,

Sadly there is no "latest file with a date appended to it" available to rename to Vhosts_ispconfig.conf.

Please go to the directory where the Vhost_ispconfig.conf file is and execute:

ls -la Vhosts_ispconfig.conf*

and post the output here.

Please post also the output of:

ls -la /root/ispconfig/.ispconfig_lock

and:

ps aux | grep wconf
