 |
|
I have got a couple of proxies to work just fine, those which return HTML pages.
However, I've got one server (an IP camera) that wants to return .SHTML rather than standard .HTML files and that fails. Do I need to make a declaration in the .conf file that .SHTML should be intepreted as regular HTML or is there something I'm missing? If so, how do I go about doing that?
Also, is a proxy the correct way to deal with avoiding opening ports for other applications? I was hoping to ONLY have port 80 open on the firewall and then get Apache to redirect any specific requests to a particular server AND port combination despite it potentially not being HTML. Presumably that won't work because mod_proxy only deals with HTML? |

ProxyRequests Off
ProxyHTMLEnable On
ProxyPass /Cam1/ http://192.168.0.70/
<Location /Cam1-gateway/>
ProxyPassReverse /
ProxyHTMLEnable On
ProxyHTMLURLMap http://192.168.0.70/ /Cam1/
ProxyHTMLURLMap / /Cam1/
</Location>
|
So what happens is I navigate to www.mydomain.com/Cam1/ and back comes this:
http://www.mydomain.com/view/viewer_index.shtml?id=634
which obviously doesn't work. If I then insert "Cam1" into the URL (http://www.Mydomain.com/Cam1/view/viewer_index.shtml?id=634) it works just fine. ** EDIT: no it doesn't. It tries to authorise but clearly is going back to the wrong URL internally so then just sits there **
I had thought the secton ProxyHTMLURLMap was wrong and it should go to Cam1 rather than root, but that didn't work. |

The Location path is a different one than the ProyPass
There is Cam1 and Cam1-gateway. Those two must match. |

That made no difference - either one will redirect to http://www.mydomain.com/view/viewer_index.shtml?id=30
Am I doing something wrong with the ProxyPassReverse statement? Should it definitely be just "/" ? |

There is a tutorial for that from the maker of mod_proxy_html
please see http://www.apachetutor.org/admin/reverseproxies ( do not end until The Complete Configuration )
if you still have a question or an issue please ask again. |

I'm still having all sorts of difficulties with running a reverse proxy.
Does it matter WHAT the content is? Essentially I'm trying to have only port 80 open externally, and for a bunch of internal servers that offer up HTML but also other things, have Apache allow access to them whatever their port number is. So for example, one system runs on port 8000 and I am trying to serve it via the reverse proxy, re-mapping from port 8000 to port 80 by using internal.domain.com:8000 as the redirect URL.
I've had extremely limited success so far with any of this and it's really annoying me! |

You may post your config at http://apaste.info/ or http://pastebin.com/
Also consulting your access and error log of these vhosts may help. IN doubt apache log can be set to debug mode. |
