Hey all,
I'm trying to save some $$ and not pay wix monthly to hook my website into a domain.  Apache ftw! Almost got it working, but having a wee bit closing the deal and making it work, hoping someone can spot my oopsie.

* WIX website: https://mysite.wixsite.com/foo-subsite
* MY PROXY: https://foo.diyplans.org

Apache configuration
| Code: |
$ cat 000-foo.conf
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
ServerName foo.diyplans.org

This works to proxy through. HOWEVER the "sub-links" within wix still point to the WIX site itself (of course ...) but they don't work at all. Maybe they have some javascript preventing this from working?
Here's the current state of the site fwiw: https://ecobee-wired-sensors.diyplans.org/
(a little side project) :o[/code]

either you use mod_proxy_html[1] to rewrite internal link / src in the html or your need to have the foo part in your reverse path, too[2].
[1] https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy_html.html
[2]
e.g.
| Code: |
ProxyPass "/foo/" https://mysite.wixsite.com:443/foo/
ProxyPassReverse "/foo/" https://mysite.wixsite.com:443/foo/
|
this would also require a redirect from / to /foo/ |

hm thanks! tried a few variances, each ended up with their own wonky behaviour; (seems like I need to learn more to get to this to work)
based off
* http://www.apachetutor.org/admin/reverseproxies
* https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy_html.html
I tried the `mod_proxy_html`, something like this I thought should do it,
| Code: |
SetOutputFilter INFLATE;proxy-html;DEFLATE
ProxyHTMLEnable On
ProxyHTMLURLMap "/foo/" "/"
|
however all the links still were pointing through to the "mysite.wix.com"
I read through the documentation more deeply and figured maybe I'd need other settings, also tried fiddling with
| Code: |
#ProxyHTMLDocType "fpi" "XML"
ProxyHTMLExtended On
ProxyHTMLInterp On
ProxyHTMLMeta On
|
, without success
I tried what you suggested to have both ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse include the same suffix dir
| Code: |
ProxyPass "/foo/" https://mysite.wixsite.com:443/foo/
ProxyPassReverse "/foo/" https://mysite.wixsite.com:443/foo/
|
, but as expected (to me), the only affect that has is ONLY proxy'ing front-end requests to the "/foo" suffix to the proxy domain, doesn't seem to accomplish anything
If I inspect the link, it should be possible to HTMLmap this
| Code: |
/html/body/div/div[3]/div[4]/div/header/div[2]/div[2]/div/div/section/div[2]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div[1]/nav/ul/li[3]/a
<a role="button" tabindex="0" aria-haspopup="false" data-listposition="center" href="https://mysite.wixsite.com/foo/diy" target="_self" id="comp-jrp1k2ex2linkElement" class="style-jrp1k4herepeaterButtonlinkElement"><div class="style-jrp1k4herepeaterButton_gapper"><div style="text-align:right" id="comp-jrp1k2ex2bg" class="style-jrp1k4herepeaterButtonbg"><p style="text-align: right; line-height: 30px;" id="comp-jrp1k2ex2label" class="style-jrp1k4herepeaterButtonlabel">Do It Yourself (DIY)</p></div></div></a>

ah-ha! got it working, the trick in the URLMap I did not understand was that it is not GLOB match
Here's what the final version looks like (in case someone else would like to have it and do the same thing)
| Code: |
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
ServerName foo.diyplans.org

CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access_foo.log combined

| one minor backtrack, the contact us form doesn't work; not sure what is missing or will cause a form POST to not work in the Apache proxy setup |
