mod_proxy and Shared IP message

    I am using external name servers and inserted an "A" record for test.domain1.com to point my external IP. I have Apache 2.2 installed on a Windows machine that is using mod_proxy to forward requests to my LAMP server (with ISPConfig installed). All port 80 traffic is forwarded to the windows box with Apache / mod_proxy. Everything is behind a NAT firewall.

    With everything setup as it is currently, I get the "Shared IP" message when trying to go to either of the two sites I have setup in ISPConfig.

    If I take the windows box out of the equation and forward port 80 traffic directly to the LAMP server, the sites appear as they should.

    Is there something I'm missing?

    Did you select the internal IP address for the website and not the external IP in ISPConfig?

    Yes, the internal ip of 10.1.252.2 was selected.

    Did you use in the proxy request configuration the domain or IP on your windows server? ISPConfig uses namebased vhosts, so you must use the domain in the proxy request and not the IP address.

    On the Windows machine(proxy), httpd-vhosts.conf contains the following:

    Code:
    <VirtualHost *:80>
#lamp
   ServerName lamp
   ServerAlias test.domain1.com
   ProxyPass            /      http://10.1.252.2/
   ProxyPassReverse      /      http://10.1.252.2/
</VirtualHost>
    The ServerName "lamp" is in the hosts file of the Windows machine.

    This setup works for all of the other sites I have setup except for ISPConfig.

    This can not work with virtula hosts as I posted anove, you must use the hostname and not the IP!

    If the website you want to access on the ispconfig server has the domain www.test.int, then your setup must look like:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    #lamp
    ServerName lamp
    ServerAlias test.domain1.com
    ProxyPass / http://www.test.int/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://www.test.int/
    </VirtualHost>

    and the hosts file on your windows machine must resolve www.test.int to the correct internal IP address.
