I tried to navigate to the app with the virtual host URL on MS Edge and got 
"Hmm...We can't reach this page".  I don't know how to map a domain or 
subdomain to my server app, either.

And I need to know how to get the environment variables to work with Apache's 
reverse proxy.  Again: the environment variables are in the C++ server 
application to begin with and the frontend needs to get them so it request for 
them.  The app works perfectly on localhost, so I just need to deploy it.

It would be better if you explained your current problem better instead of 
using expressions like "doesn't seem to be working correctly".

As for the testing, you can use curl on the server itself to see if httpd can 
reach the backend.

I'd like it if you guys were to read my httpd.conf and the virtual host 
configuration file to see if I did it correctly.  I did read the documentation 
for it, but I'm not sure if I did correctly and the virtual host also doesn't 
seem to be working correctly (I tried to navigate to the site after starting 
Apache httpd as a service, but it didn't work; how do I correctly navigate to a 
proxied app on Apache?).


Thanks in advance.

See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/reverse_proxy.html and 
http://www.apachetutor.org/admin/reverseproxies.

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 have a web application I want to deploy behind a reverse proxy.


Do I have to do this on my own computer with the instance of the Apache HTTP 
Server that I've installed on my machine, or is it possible to do this on the 
Apache somehow as well?  If possible, I'd like to do the latter because I'd 
prefer not having to always keep my computer on.


The reason I want a reverse proxy is because my application has its own httpd( 
written in C++).  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....).
