Re: [users@httpd] IP address used by Apache reverse proxy?

2018-09-25 Thread Gillis J. de Nijs 
I'm starting to think you don't know what you need, and we don't understand
what you want.  So, drop everything you (think you) know, and start over.

What are you trying to do?  Not how you're trying to do it, or why, but
WHAT do you want to do?  WHAT components are involved?

I'm thinking it's along the lines of:
- I have a subdomain registered at so-and-so.
- I want to use that subdomain to host a site on my local computer.
- The computer is behind my home router.
- I have a static public IP at home (on my router - or - it is bridged to
my computer)
- etc, etc...

Re: [users@httpd] IP address used by Apache reverse proxy?

2018-09-25 Thread Osman Zakir 
When you mention the DocumentRoot, do you mean just the setting for vhosts or 
the document root for the reverse proxy?  Are you telling me I don't need a 
 directive if I have a ProxyPass "/" "http://target/; line?

And is it fine to have the ProxyPass defined like this:
ProxyPass "/" 
"E:/programming/visual_studio_2017/Projects/currency_converter/Release/" ?  
That's the path to the directory on my machine.

Is the stuff from line 541 to line 546 not needed?

Osman,

Take a step back, you're all over the place. You need to focus on one task at a 
time, else you will never finish configuring your server.

For the vhost, again, if you use ProxyPass / http://target/, then you do *not* 
need set set a DocumentRoot, as every single request will be proxied.

If you proxy a specific URI path, i.e. ProxyPass /foo http://target/bar, then 
do *do* need a DocumentRoot to handle the requests that do not begin with /foo.

For SSL/TLS, determine first if you want httpd to do the termination, or if 
your backend speaks TLS.

Re: [users@httpd] IP address used by Apache reverse proxy?

2018-09-24 Thread Osman Zakir 
I'm trying to ask if the non-proxied files served by the Apache httpd should be 
in a separate directory compared to the reverse proxied one(s).  Right now 
they're separate since the non-proxied document root is htdocs as in the 
default configuration.  The  directive I've added near by reverse 
proxy configuration lines is meant to be for the directory for the reverse 
proxy.

I just want to have a  directive configuration that would work best 
for the reverse proxy.  I don't know what to do for that, though.  Is it okay 
to just make it the same as the one for the htdocs directory?

I do still need a suggestion for a good subdomain provider where the subdomain 
would take my computer's IP address (and I'll want it to update to the new IP 
address if I switch countries and get a new WiFi router and modem).  It should 
also preferably give me a subdomain with a .com extension, if that's possible.

I also want to know how to switch to HTTPS on Apache.  What part of the 
documentation do I read to find out how to switch to HTTPS for a reverse proxy? 
 I'll do the switch after getting it to work for plain HTTP, of course.  Just 
thought I'd ask now.  And is there an Include line I have to uncomment for the 
SSL stuff to work, or do I have to use a separate configuration for that and 
not httpd.conf itself?  I see a openssl.cnf file in the same directory as 
httpd.conf.

I've attached httpd.conf to this message as well.  Please let me know if it's 
okay so far, aside from the  directive for the reverse proxy which 
is left empty because I'm trying to ask what to put in there.

Subject: Re: [users@httpd] IP address used by Apache reverse proxy?

In a nutshell, you need to:

1) Define a front-facing vhost. You can use DNS and name-based vhosts to reach 
it
2) Decide what URI path you want to proxy in that vhost
3) If you proxy / (i.e. every request), then you don't need a DocumentRoot in 
that vhost. Otherwise, you need one
4) You don't need to use DNS to specify the target of your backend server. 
ProxyPass / http://IP_HERE:PORT/ is perfectly fine.
5) I actually recommend that you do not use DNS to reach the proxied server, 
initially. Keep things simple first.

I want to know the IP address so I can use it in my hosts file, since you said 
I can add an entry to the hosts file mapping that IP address to a given name

What happens if I set up an IP-based virtual host instead?  And how easy or

The IP httpd will use to proxy to your backend isn't typically relevant, unless 
you want to apply filtering or tracking of some sort.

Filesystems don't have addresses, and reverse proxies don't usually work
out of the filesystem at all. You will have to be more specific.

You can define a IP vhost too if you like. It doesn't matter.

And yes, read the official documentation about vhosts, as linked before.

Re: [users@httpd] IP address used by Apache reverse proxy?

2018-09-21 Thread Osman Zakir 
Is that for IP-based virtual hosts?

And will free subdomain work for this when I go ahead and try to use a DNS to 
reach my server after I've gotten this to work?  Just want to ask this first, 
just in case.

I can read about how to define a front-facing vhost in the examples and 
documentation, right?

Subject: Re: [users@httpd] IP address used by Apache reverse proxy?

In a nutshell, you need to:

1) Define a front-facing vhost. You can use DNS and name-based vhosts to reach 
it
2) Decide what URI path you want to proxy in that vhost
3) If you proxy / (i.e. every request), then you don't need a DocumentRoot in 
that vhost. Otherwise, you need one
4) You don't need to use DNS to specify the target of your backend server. 
ProxyPass / http://IP_HERE:PORT/ is perfectly fine.
5) I actually recommend that you do not use DNS to reach the proxied server, 
initially. Keep things simple first.

Re: [users@httpd] IP address used by Apache reverse proxy?

2018-09-21 Thread Osman Zakir 
Let me just say again, first, that I have a subdomain name I want to use for my 
app.

Okay.  Anyway, when I tried to get to my app just now after starting the Apache 
httpd as a service, I got an error page in Edge saying that it can't reach the 
page.  I'd like to show you my httpd configuration file again to make sure if I 
have the reverse proxy configuration done correctly.

I want to know the IP address so I can use it in my hosts file, since you said 
I can add an entry to the hosts file mapping that IP address to a given name 
domain name (or subdomain name in my case).  Though I'm not sure if doing it 
like that would make the app publicly available from anywhere.

What happens if I set up an IP-based virtual host instead?  And how easy or 
hard would it be to map a domain or subdomain name to that IP address?

Another question: the current file path I have for my virtual host DocumentRoot 
setting is the one my app's files are in.  Should I set it to the htdocs folder 
instead (if so, how do I tell it that it what files it has to serve behind a 
reverse proxy?)?
