Topic: Proxy question

[Dalehutch]

Greetings!

I have to admit, I have been using Apache for well over 10 years now and I never needed this. But now I a totally newbie on this topic. Proxy!

Here is what I would like to do. I have Apache v2.2.22 up and running on an Unbuntu 12.04 server. All my virtual servers works fine. But what I would like to do is test the BigBlueButton meetings server. The server is on a separate Ubuntu server. what I would like to do is this.

Main Website -> www.mysite.com is on my main webserver.

meetings server -> www.meetings.mysite.com is redirected to the other server

I have tried to add the virtual server proxy lines into the www.mysite.com settings and I keep getting the infamous 500 error.

Any suggestions on the correct settinsg would be greatly appreciated!

I guess www.meetings.mysite.com should show the content of the BigBlueButton meetings server.

Of that you need a reverse proxy. Would have been nice if you posted your trial config... however.

First you need to load the needed modules in apache. Create the symlink your self to the right directory or use a2enmod.

You need proxy_module, proxy_http_module,headers_module

the vhost for www.meetings.mysite.com

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName meetings.mysite.com
ServerAlias www.meetings.mysite.com
ProxyPass / http://192.168.100.100/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.100.100/
</VirtualHost>

See previous post. In addition you might need to explicitly turn

ProxyPreserveHost on

or

ProxyPreserveHost off
