Topic: Raspberry Pi help with mod proxy and proxypass

[martyp]

Hi all,
I'm getting really confused trying to get this working and would really appreciate some help please
I've been getting some great help from the Raspberry Pi forums but still getting lost on this.

Basically, here's the setup I currently have:
3 X Raspberry Pi's all running web based projects.

1) Weather station on 192.168.1.39
2) Thermostat activity on 192.168.1.42:82
3) Electricity monitor on 192.168.1.43

Port 80 on my router forwards to my main website on 192.168.1.39 and port 82 forwards to 192.168.1.42.

I've been trying to get Proxypass working on the weather station Pi.

I'm trying to set it up as follows:

www.domain.co.uk -> Weather station
www.domain.co.uk/thermostat -> 192.168.1.42
www.domain.co.uk/electricity -> 192.168.1.43

I've added the following lines to the bottom of apache2.conf:
ProxyPass /thermostat http://192.168.1.39/
ProxyPassReverse /thermostat http://192.168.1.39/

ProxyPass /electricity http://192.168.1.43/
ProxyPassReverse /electricity http://192.168.1.43/

and tried creating a file called electricity in sites-available on weather station as follows:
<VirtualHost *:*>
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.43/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.1.43/
ServerName www.domain.co.uk/electricity
</VirtualHost>

I tried using sudo a2ensite to enable electricity but it said no site found.
I'm really not sure if I'm editing the right files in the right places?
Please can someone help?

The ServerName can't be a path. if you have only one domain you don't need any vhost.

if there is only one domain I recommend to disable the vhost or do all stuff in that vhost file. Also put all Proxy* stuff into the existing vhost.

Thanks for the reply, I tried that command and got:
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
VirtualHost configuration:
wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers:
*:80 127.0.1.1 (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:1)
*:* <mydomain.co.uk>/electricity (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled /electricity:1)
*:* <mydomain.co.uk>/thermostat (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ thermostat:1)
*:80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server <mydomain.co.uk> (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/virtual-re verse-proxy:1)
port 80 namevhost <mydomain.co.uk> (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/virtual -reverse-proxy:1)
Syntax OK

Sorry, which would be the vhost file I'd need to change? I worried I made a mess as I created one for electricity and another for thermostat with Proxypass commands in but then tried putting them all into one called virtual-reverse-proxy.
