apache - mod_proxy to vhost two internal addresses

cam34 · 02-08-2009, 03:43 PM

Hi People,

I needing some assistance with mod_proxy.

Scenario: We have two domains and one external IP address and our router NAT'ing.

I need to get apache2 to reverse proxy two internal websites based on which domain they request.

Port 80 is getting answered by 192.168.1.50 (apache) (also domain cam34.com)
This box should also reverse proxy tim.com to 192.168.1.100

Using this virtual host conf file - whenever I enter cam34.com or tim.com I always get tim.com

Hope that makes sense.

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
    ServerName cam34.com

 
    DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs

    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/cam-error_log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/cam-access_log combined

    # don't loose time with IP address lookups
    HostnameLookups Off

    # needed for named virtual hosts
    UseCanonicalName On

    # configures the footer on server-generated documents
    ServerSignature On
       # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
    #
    <Directory "/srv/www/htdocs">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<proxy>
          Order deny,allow

          Allow from all
</proxy>
ServerName tim.com
ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.100/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.1.100/

The directive ServerName tim.com which is out side the vhost config takes precedence over any vhost that you have. Best setup is to make tim.com also a vhost, so that you will have proper apache vhost config for both cam34 and tim.

the problem im not hosting tim.com at all. im hosting cam34.com which lives on server 192.168.1.50 while tim.com lives on 192.168.1.100.
All though 192.168.1.50 is recieving port 80 from the external world.

I meant, put all that into a vhost config like this

Quote:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
ServerName cam34.com

DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/cam-error_log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/cam-access_log combined

# don't loose time with IP address lookups

# needed for named virtual hosts

# configures the footer on server-generated documents
ServerSignature On
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
<Directory "/srv/www/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost*:80>
ServerName tim.com
ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.100/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.1.100/
ErrorLog logs/tim.com-error_log
