Topic: Apache Reverse Proxy - 2 servers

[igrummett]

I hope the following is enough information as its my first post.

I need help with configuration of my Apache server & reverse proxy settings.
I want to use Server1 as a proxy server & serve a website from Server2 all via port 80 on Server1. This is my current configuration:-

Server1: Windows 10 Pro (internal IP 192.168.0.25)
WAMP Apache V2.4.41
Connected to internet via modem and listening on port 80
‘Hello world’ test page working correctly via www.myexample.com & demo.myexample.com so IP address,DNS & firewalls correctly configured.
Document folder is C:\wamp\www on Server1

Server2: Windows 10 Pro (internal IP address 192.168.0.7)
WAMP Apache V2.4.41
Connected to internet via modem and currently listening on port 81
Website is served correctly via myexample.com:81/grum/
Website is also accessible via http://192.168.0.7:81/grum/index.php from Server2 on the internal network
Document folder is C:\wamp\www\grum on Server2

I want server1 to point demo.myexample.com to server2 to serve the page.

I have currently
enabled the modules in httpd.conf and restarted Apache in Server1
Pointed demo A record to correct external IP address
Updated the httpd.vhost.conf file as follows:-

# Virtual Hosts
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
DocumentRoot "${INSTALL_DIR}/www"
<Directory "${INSTALL_DIR}/www/">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.7:81/grum/>
ServerName demo.myexample.com
ServerAlias demo
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/grum"
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests On
<Proxy>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://192.168.0.7:81/grum/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.0.7:81/grum/
</VirtualHost>

I have tried a number of different options but cant get it to work. Any pointers would be appreciated.
