Topic: reverse proxy server and php security

[tfit]

I still don't understand the reverse proxy setup! Do I remove my httpd.conf and put everything in httpd-vhost.conf? Where are the cached files stored or do I still need a documentroot on the proxy server? And finally does a reverse proxy server hide the presence of a mysql/php? My main problem is the configuration. yes and I already downloaded mod-proxy-html.

Thanks in advance.
And I need to add that the backend will be a different machine.

>Do I remove my httpd.conf
no keep it!

>and put everything in httpd-vhost.conf?
here you create your proxy vhost (don't forget to include in httpd.conf)

>Where are the cached files stored
If you use cache, it will be cached on the proxy server

>do I still need a documentroot on the proxy server?
On the proxy server it self you don't need a document root

>And finally does a reverse proxy server hide the presence of a mysql/php?
Only if you configure that on the reversed servers.

>My main problem is the configuration.
How far did you configured it? Used the forum search?

Thanks james,

I didn't check the thread for a while because i wasn't expecting an answer anymore. So with a long trial and error process i got it working. I haven't looked into the caching, because i'm stills struggling with my database layout.
But thanks for your time.
