squid proxy+ virtual host question
 
here's the question

i'm trying to setup a network with a squid proxy pointing to multiple apache servers as such
Code:

router
  |
switch
| | |squid
| |
| |apache1(www.apache1.com) (docroot=/var/www)
|
|apache2(www.apache2.com) (docroot=/var/www)

when each server is configured for a single site, that works beautifully

but when i try to change apache2 with virtual hosts with hosts www.vhost1.com as and www.vhost2.com (which are already configured in squid to point to server apache2 and do so correctly)
as such:

apache2
www.vhost1.com docroot=/var/www/vhost1
www.vhost2.com docroot=/var/www/vhost2

i still get the document root /var/www contents

is this a configuration problem with the apache server or the squid server?

well this could never be a squid issue. you've not confirmed that the virtual hosts are actually working correctly. show us your Apache configs please.

frieza 02-28-2009 01:28 PM

here is an example of what is in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
000-default
Code:

NameVirtualHost *
www.virtualhost1.com
Code:

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/sites/site1"
ServerName www.virtualhost1.com
<Directory "/var/www/sites/site1">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
UseCanonicalName off
</VirtualHost>

(the actual information has been changed to protect the guilty)
yet it still fails
this was created by webmin btw
apache2.conf
Code:

#
# Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool.
#
# This is the main Apache server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ for detailed information about
# the directives.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned. 
#
# The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections:
#  1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a
#    whole (the 'global environment').
#  2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default' server,
#    which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host.
#    These directives also provide default values for the settings
#    of all virtual hosts.
#  3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to
#    different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the
#    same Apache server process.
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "/var/log/apache2/foo.log"
# with ServerRoot set to "" will be interpreted by the
# server as "//var/log/apache2/foo.log".
#

### Section 1: Global Environment
#
# The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,
# such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it
# can find its configuration files.
#

#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# NOTE!  If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)
# mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation (available
# at <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.1/mod/mpm_common.html#lockfile>);
# you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
#
# Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path.
#
ServerRoot "/etc/apache2"
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
#
# The accept serialization lock file MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL DISK.

# PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process
# identification number when it starts.
# This needs to be set in /etc/apache2/envvars
#
PidFile ${APACHE_PID_FILE}

#
# Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
#
Timeout 300

#
# KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than
# one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate.
#
KeepAlive On

#
# MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow
# during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.
# We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance.
#
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100

#
# KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request from the
# same client on the same connection.

# The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being
# viewed by Web clients.
#
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all

#
# DefaultType is the default MIME type the server will use for a document
# if it cannot otherwise determine one, such as from filename extensions.
# If your server contains mostly text or HTML documents, "text/plain" is
# a good value.  If most of your content is binary, such as applications
# or images, you may want to use "application/octet-stream" instead to
# keep browsers from trying to display binary files as though they are
# text.
#
DefaultType text/plain


#
# HostnameLookups: Log the names of clients or just their IP addresses
# e.g., www.apache.org (on) or 204.62.129.132 (off).
# The default is off because it'd be overall better for the net if people
# had to knowingly turn this feature on, since enabling it means that
# each client request will result in AT LEAST one lookup request to the
# nameserver.
#
HostnameLookups Off

# ErrorLog: The location of the error log file.
# If you do not specify an ErrorLog directive within a <VirtualHost>
# container, error messages relating to that virtual host will be
# logged here.  If you *do* define an error logfile for a <VirtualHost>
# container, that host's errors will be logged there and not here.
#
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

#
# LogLevel: Control the number of messages logged to the error_log.
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
#
LogLevel warn

# Include module configuration:
Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load
Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.conf

# Include all the user configurations:
Include /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

# Include ports listing
Include /etc/apache2/ports.conf

#
# The following directives define some format nicknames for use with
# a CustomLog directive (see below).
# If you are behind a reverse proxy, you might want to change %h into %{X-Forwarded-For}i
#
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common
LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U" referer
LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent

#
# ServerTokens
# This directive configures what you return as the Server HTTP response
# Header. The default is 'Full' which sends information about the OS-Type
# and compiled in modules.
# Set to one of:  Full | OS | Minor | Minimal | Major | Prod
# where Full conveys the most information, and Prod the least.
#
ServerTokens Full

#
# Optionally add a line containing the server version and virtual host
# name to server-generated pages (internal error documents, FTP directory
# listings, mod_status and mod_info output etc., but not CGI generated
# documents or custom error documents).
# Set to "EMail" to also include a mailto: link to the ServerAdmin.
# Set to one of:  On | Off | EMail
#
ServerSignature On



#
# Customizable error responses come in three flavors:
# 1) plain text 2) local redirects 3) external redirects
#
# Some examples:
#ErrorDocument 500 "The server made a boo boo."
#ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html
#ErrorDocument 404 "/cgi-bin/missing_handler.pl"
#ErrorDocument 402 http://www.example.com/subscription_info.html
#

#
# Putting this all together, we can internationalize error responses.
#
# We use Alias to redirect any /error/HTTP_<error>.html.var response to
# our collection of by-error message multi-language collections.  We use
# includes to substitute the appropriate text.
#
# You can modify the messages' appearance without changing any of the
# default HTTP_<error>.html.var files by adding the line:
#
#  Alias /error/include/ "/your/include/path/"
#
# which allows you to create your own set of files by starting with the
# /usr/share/apache2/error/include/ files and copying them to /your/include/path/,
# even on a per-VirtualHost basis.  The default include files will display
# your Apache version number and your ServerAdmin email address regardless
# of the setting of ServerSignature.
#
# The internationalized error documents require mod_alias, mod_include
# and mod_negotiation.  To activate them, uncomment the following 30 lines.

#    Alias /error/ "/usr/share/apache2/error/"
#
#    <Directory "/usr/share/apache2/error">
#        AllowOverride None
#        Options IncludesNoExec

where's the other vhost?

frieza 03-02-2009 12:11 PM

oh sry, each virtual host has it's own file in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled with the same structure, i thought it would be redundant to post them both since i was using generic host information but the same structure

acid_kewpie 03-02-2009 01:08 PM

OK, so can we strip out the squid part permanently... this works exactly the same, with or without the squid box, right? Do you have a default sites-enabled file? Does that point to the first site as well? Can you see the access logs for each site properly?

frieza 03-02-2009 03:16 PM

well the squid is because (www.apache1.com www.vhost1.com www.vhost2.com) are on one physical server and www.apache2.com is on another physical server, hence the squid box, unfortunatly when i browse to www.vhost1.com and www.vhost2.com i still get www.apache1.com

our ultimate goal is to have a bank of servers tied together under a single ip using a reverse proxy, each with a set of it's own virtual hosts such as
Code:

internet (single public ip)
  |
 router, (forwarding port 80 to the squid box)
  |
 switch---squid (reverse proxy pointing the appropriate requests to the physical servers)
 |  |  |
 s1 s2 s3
||| || ||
||| || ||
||| || |--vhost1
||| || ---vhost2
||| ||
||| |-vhost1
||| --vhost2
|||
|||--vhost1
|----vhost2
-----vhost3

and so on
the problem isn't the request reaching the proper physical server, that works
the problem is once the request reaches the proper server, i still get the default site even with virtual hosts configured

acid_kewpie 03-03-2009 02:02 AM

Well you've *still* not said whether you can use the vhosts locally.

frieza 03-03-2009 11:12 AM

oh sorry, they dont' seem to work at all, though i have been able to use virtual hosts locally but not in this instance for some reason since all dns routing causes any connection by name to the server to loop through our public ip then back into the server bank

acid_kewpie 03-03-2009 12:40 PM

fair enough, well put on some ServerAlias directives to support non-fqdns, e.g vhost1, vhost2 etc... and test them in a more local environment.

frieza 03-03-2009 01:00 PM

k, though i would presume i would have to add vhost1.com, vhost2.com etc.. to the acl on the squid?

acid_kewpie 03-03-2009 04:01 PM

no, bollocks to the squid server. forget it exists. just get a normal apache server working first.
