how do I enable reverse proxy on apache 2.2.17/centos?

[grx123]

I am trying to setup a reverse proxy on Apache 2.2.17 but the a2enmod proxy_http does not work on apache 2.2.17 I ran a httpd -l and got the following indicating that i do have the mod proxy module installed

Code: Select all

rss1@anything [~]# httpd -version
Server version: Apache/2.2.17 (Unix)
Server built:   Mar 25 2011 10:41:52

I assume you got this working? If not, it's as simple as adding 2 lines to your appache config file.

Code: Select all

    ProxyPass / http://10.0.0.3:4040/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://10.0.0.3:4040/


My subsonic server is running internally on 10.0.0.3:4040
The above proxies to that machine through Apache on port 80.

Actually, what I have is a full virtual host setup to serve subsonic to http://subsonic.

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName  subsonic.<mydomain>.com

    <Proxy *>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
    </Proxy>

    ProxyPass / http://10.0.0.3:4040/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://10.0.0.3:4040/

</VirtualHost>
