Re: [users@httpd] Want to Deploy Web App Behind a Reverse Proxy
Osman, I think you really need to understand the things you are using before trying to actually use them. You need to have an IP address to point the proxy, even if it's 127.0.0.1 on some random port like 3000. You don't really need to pay for a domain, there are "free" services that provide you with a DNS entry you can point to where you want BUT, and a BIG BUT, they have their own rules and you probably won't have full control of it, which can be quite bad for a service. As Frank already pointed, Proxies are agnostic for ENV variables, CGI or whatever is behind the proxy, they CAN inject some info but that's very specific and doesn't seems to be your case. The IP of the reverse proxy is where the httpd daemon is Listening on, you configure that and when it's running you can check what ports are open using tools like 'ss' or 'netstat' on Linux. If you want it to be always working, you need to have the service always online, be a VPS, a cloud computing node or your own computer (leaving him turned on always). These things are not REALLY attached to httpd itself but are more conceptual to *any* webserver, dns, proxy that you may use. I encorage you to first learn how they work (even in high level, doesn't need to go into details of the source code) before trying to use / set them up, otherwise you will hit some bugs by not understanding what you are actually doing. Also, whenever you want to share files with a mailinglist, I recommend you to post into a pastebin / gist or anywhere online, otherwise you are sending this to all the users in the mailing list, even if they are just text files.

Re: [users@httpd] Want to Deploy Web App Behind a Reverse Proxy
If I'm using a reverse proxy, do I need the IP address of the reverse proxy server? And if so, how do I get the IP address of the reverse proxy server (if you don't want to tell, please point me to a resource I read about it on)? I got a free subdomain name from subdomain.net. So do I put Apache's IP address (if I can find it) in for IP used by the host name in my hosts file?

Re: [users@httpd] Want to Deploy Web App Behind a Reverse Proxy
I haven't changed what I'm saying my problem is that much. I'm probably having a hard time explaining it. The host name seems to be the main problem, though, aside from the environment variables. I don't have a host name. I'd prefer it if I could get a free subdomain and get my server to take it (without having to pay any money if possible). Previously, I hadn't added any values to the PassEnv directives in httpd.conf; I just added those recently. Do I need to put double-quotes around the values, or is it without double-quotes?

You do need to have a httpd instance running at all times; how else do you think it will serve requests? Lastly, your comment about the documentation is a bit odd - perhaps you could offer constructive comments on specific sections instead, so that we could work on improving it. A lot of folks dedicated a lot of time writing it, and even more would benefit from improvements.

I'd like the application to be publicly available on the Internet. If I set up a virtual host with Apache (with a public IP, one that isn't 127.0.0.1, and one I can navigate to from anywhere), will that make the application publicly available as I intend? I'll also need help on setting up virtual hosts and a reverse proxy since the Apache documentation is too technical for me (I did try reading it). httpd.conf Description: httpd.conf httpd-vhosts.conf Description: httpd-vhosts.conf - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org
