reverse proxy not able to configure properly

tkmsr · 04-22-2010, 09:47 AM

Hi, I am using a reverse proxy on Debian Lenny and using apache2.
I have a site

Code:

 www.myserver.com

and a site

Code:

site1.myserver.com

two files in

Code:

/etc/apache2/sites-available/
site1.myserver.com  myserver.com

myserver.com in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ does not contain any reverse proxy word.
while site1.myserver.com in /etc/apache2/sites-available/
contains

Code:

ProxyPass / http://192.168.2.1
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.2.1

where 192.168.2.1 is where site1.myserver.com is present.
But the problem is http://site1.myserver.com and http://myserver.com are both pointing to http://myserver.com
I am unable to find why.I do not want to touch apache2.conf so want to go by having a VirtualHost site1.myserver.com

You probably need to check these settings:

a, Are the two sites enabled?
(create soft links from site-available* to site-enable*)

b, How about the settings in the two virtualhost config files?
Is there any default virtualhost created, are they messing up each other?

c, when myserver.com disabled, how does site1 act?

I could not understand this.

The site1 acts same as myserver.That means it is not at all reading the configuration created in site1.myserver.com

I removed the entries for site1.myserver.com and www.myserver.com from /etc/hosts
Now I restarted apache2 and I get following

Code:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Restarting web server: apache2[Thu Apr 22 11:37:25 2010] [warn] NameVirtualHost myserver.com:80 has no VirtualHosts
 ... waiting [Thu Apr 22 11:37:26 2010] [warn] NameVirtualHost myserver.com:80 has no VirtualHosts

But it redirected to site1.myserver.com
and I can see myserver.com also.

How did that happened ? I am unable to understand.

If I am doing a ping to site1.myserver.com and myserver.com I am getting both reply from same IP.That is one more thing I observed.

Ok by now I specified IP address in sites-available directory for NameVirtualHost and VirtualHost so the above error is also gone.I notice that there is a problem with trailing slash

myserver.com and mydomain.com are both same sites

site1.myserver.com is different from both
if some one points to myserver.com he should see same thing as mydomain.com but this is not happening.
mydomain.com is now redirecting to site1.myserver.com
