Re: [users@httpd] RewriteRule question: forward requests from one Apache server to another

Ok so I checked httpd.conf on server 1 and I stupidly hadn't included RewriteEngine On. I've done that and now I get served up a site from server 2, but it's the wrong site.

I have two virtual hosts set up as follows:

Server 1
NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerName server.mydomain.com
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://60.234.nnn.nn:8008/$1 [L,P]
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerName otherserver.mydomain.com
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://60.234.nnn.nn:8008/$1 [L,P]
</VirtualHost>

Server2
NameVirtualHost *:8008

<VirtualHost *:8008>
       ServerName server.mydomain.com
       DocumentRoot /var/www/html
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8008>
       ServerName otherserver.mydomain.com
       DocumentRoot /var/www/html2
</VirtualHost>

When I browse to http://otherserver.mydomain.com I get served up the http://server.mydomain.com site. This is the same site that I get served if I browse to http://serveripaddress:8080. So I don't think the host header is being passed properly from server 1 to server 2.

Any suggestions?

Regards

Cameron

Subject: [users@httpd] RewriteRule question: forward requests from one
Apache server to another


I am trying to set up the following configuration:
1. Apache server with public IP address
2. Apache server behind NAT with no public IP address
3. Router with public IP address with port forwarding set up
for port 8008
to Apache server 2
4. Public DNS record server.mydomain.com resolves to IP
address of server 1

When a user browses to server.mydomain.com I want a web site
to be served up
from from server 2.

I have set the following up in httpd.conf on server 1:
<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName server.mydomain.com
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://60.234.nnn.nn:8008/$1 [L,P]
</VirtualHost>

I have set the following up in httpd.conf on server 2:
<VirtualHost *:8008>
    ServerName server.mydomain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html
</VirtualHost>

I can access the website locally by accessing the site on
server 2, but not
through server 1. If I enter http://server.mydomain.com I
just get the
default apache homepage, rather than the index.phtml page
that I want to be
served up. If I enter  http://server.mydomain.com/index.phtml
I get a 404
error.

I guess you left the usual doc-root pointing to htdocs in the main part of the config (outside the VH). So if you get the default page then it's not the RewriteRule - the request is not getting into the VH container.

Did you do:

NameVirtualHost *:80

to tell apache to use name-based virtual-hosting?

Before worrying about rewriting, get the VH working: comment out the Rewrite rules, stick a temporary docroot in the VH container and check you can hit it.

Rgds,

I guess my rewriterule is wrong but I'm not sure how to fix
it. Any help
would be appreciated.
