Hi Guys,

Maybe you know this, but in case you don't, I discovered how to use 
Apache Httpd (the web server) to
a) Put my Isis installation behind an SSL connection,
b) Proxy the port 8080 request behind a normal https URL

By putting the following in the virtual host config:

# Start
ProxyRequests Off

<Proxy  https://real.webserver.address:443/isis/>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
</Proxy>

ProxyPass /isis/ http://localhost:8080/
ProxyPassReverse /isis/ http://localhost:8080/
# End

I am able to hide my Isis application within the Apache-served content.

All requests to:
https://real.webserver.address/isis/
are redirected to 
http://localhost:8080/


I needed to do this since I discovered that at a clients offices port 8080 
was blocked by their corporate firewall. Thus I needed a method to put 
the Isis application behind the same URL as the main server, which 
serves Joomla CMS content.


Note: I also had to run:
sh> sudo /usr/sbin/setsebool httpd_can_network_connect 1
to get SE Linux to allow reconnects, I was getting a 503 error and
"ap_proxy_connect_backend disabling worker for (localhost)" error 
message in the log.

Regards,
Kevin
