Ubuntu Servers :: Apache ProxyPass For IP Redirection?
Apr 26, 2011
So I am brand new to the Ubuntu Server realm and Linux in general (15 years MS development utilizing MS Servers), and so far have been able to tackle some of the most pain in the butt installs and configs ever (VMWare Server being the worst and least stable, but running good now). I have done the site search thing to find out if there were similar issues surrounding Apache and if the answers were found within those posts.
The issue that I am having is in utilizing Apache as a proxy server for redirecting web traffic on one external IP to multiple internal IP addresses. I have multiple virtual servers and I need apache to act as a pass through / redirection proxy for web traffic. So far, it worked for a bit, then it becomes flaky and starts failing randomly while clicking through some of my sites. The worst offender being my SharePoint site.I rebooted the linux server, and when I try to access one of my pass-through sites, all I received was an error message about server difficulties and possibly too much traffic. After some time had passed, and few refreshes later, I finally received the authentication prompt from my windows web server, but this whole configuration is still unreliable. I sometimes get the password prompt several times where it does not allow me to login with my proper credentails, etc, and other times it just fails to display the page full stop.This is an externally facing SharePoint site.
So there's the Windows side. I also have a WordPress site that has similar issues. With WordPress it's even more odd as I have set the WP site settings to not include the directory /wordpress/ and setup my Proxy to point to the http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/wordpress/ landing. Yet on some actions (i.e. browsing themes) it decides to throw in the wordpress directory causing it to 404, and in other sections it doesn't. This actually sounds more likely a WordPress bug than a Apache bug. file: Default (from available sites):
Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

I'm trying to blind deluge torrent to port 80 but as I'm running already a server on this port, I've decided to use the ProxyPass option in a vhost. As I prefer running through HTTPS, I've used my vhost 443 that I already use for bind AjaxTerm (SSH with a web interface)
But whereas AjaxTerm works, Deluge doesn't...I only get a black page but the tab name is correct (ie, Deluge: Web UI 1.3.1)
Here is my vhost
Code:
<VirtualHost *:443>
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/private/localhost.pem
ProxyRequests Off

I'm running a server with Ubuntu 10.04 installed. I recently set up a VirtualHost (I'll call it my.website.com), like I have in the past without any problems. But this time, I'm stumped. When I connect to my.website.com, it should hit port 80, right? It doesn't; rather, it hits port 8000. I don't have any rewrites/redirections (I checked wherever possible) and checked apache2.conf (httpd.conf is empty).

I'm in a bit dilemma on how to set IP based forwarding to specific URL. I have internal staff from 207.173.4.xxx going to www.domain.com. I would like to forward them to www2.domain.com when they are offsite and working remotely from different IP address range. Is there way to achieve this with Apache? If not, is there a software solution to achieve this effect?

Here my setup of Apache :
I have two virtual hosts on separate IP and on both I am using port :80 one is main website domain.name and another webmail.domain.name. And to get full link path I am using index.html with redirection derectives. My question how I can setup each Vhost to he is own redirection directive to set two full link like:
when type webmail.domainname -----> redirect to webmail.domainname/horde/imp/file.php
and www.domainname ------> redirect to www.domainname/csr/
Right now working only one of this Vhosts, just problem to separate them when I type www.domainname -----> apache redirect to webmail.domainname.
index.html
<html>
<head>
<title>WebSite</title>
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="1;url=http://www.domainname/csr/"></HEAD>
<BODY>REDIRECTION</BODY>
</HTML> .....

We are using a webserver and application server for our portal. When my JBoss application is down on the application server, a maintenance page is shown to the user when the user tries to access the portal. When the JBoss application on the application server is up, the webserver redirects the request to the JBoss application server. Now, while the JBoss application is up and I replace the contents of index.html page in apache with the maintenance page contents.
Still the webserver redirects the request to the JBoss application server and the contents of index.html are not shown to the user. I am not able to find out any configurations for this automatic redirection in webserver. By automatic, I mean if the JBoss application is up, then redirect the request to the application server, else show maintenance page. What I want to do is show maintenance page even when my JBoss application is up.

I try to fix bugs on my web server. The remote web server allows redirects to arbitrary domains. Description : The remote web server is configured to redirect users using a HTTP 302, 303 or 307 response. However, the server can redirect to a domain that includes components included in the original request. A remote attacker could exploit this by crafting a URL which appears to resolve to the remote server, but redirects to a malicious location.

I want to know how does directive ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse work. If I have an application on an internal webserver running on port 8080 on Lan but I want it to be accessible on internet via Server A which has public IP but firewall (which I do not have control blocks all except port 80).
Code:
Server A -----------------------------------------Server B
Public IP LAN
(Port 8080 blocked)
if I write
Code:
ProxyPass /application http://192.168.1.5:8080
ProxyPassReverse /application http://192.168.1.5:8080
Will the application be accessible outside. Or do I need to contact sysadmin to open 8080 in A in above diagram. Is there any other way to do the same in apache2.

I have Webmin installed on an Ubuntu server. I currently have a successful apache server running on port 80, however I want to create a virtual host on port 81. When I try I go to servers->Apache Webserver-> Create Virtual Host I change the port to 81 and the document root to /var/port81www then I click create. How ever when I goto 192.168.1.5:81 (local ip, I know I have to port forward but its not even working local) it does not work.

I've run into a problem and I don't know if it's apache or php or the combination of both. I can compile apache 2.2.15 just fine, but whenever I try to compile php 5.3.2 into my server, the first two steps work just fine but when I get to the make install part it shows the libphp5.so and it just stays there and I have to cancel the install because it won't finish.

just switched our company from windows server to linux and everything is going good except we have 4 vpn connections though out the country coming to our server. All giving the client machines ip addresses of 192.168.x.x based on where they are located 192.168.1.x for the main location 192.168.2.x for a second location etc, and IIS could see the clients ip instead of the wan ip and was setup to block all ips except 192.168.x.x ip's and this worked great.
So i set up apache the same way, to allow only 192.168 ip's but i guess it doesn't work that way in apache for connections coming though vpn? 2 out of our 4 VPN connections are not static IP's, so the 2 that are I just add that ip to the allow list and that worked.But i don't think we should HAVE to get static ips for the other 2, that's one of the benefits of using VPN, especially if our old windows server didnt need it.Is there any way for apache to see the clients ip address for access or is there something somewhere else that needs changed for this?

I've got some strange looking requests in my access_log which I don't much like the look of. Can someone take a look and let me know if 1) it's possible for other people to use my server as a proxy, and 2) how I can stop them.

My Server is 8.04 (hardy) and Apache is 2.2.8. I have been receiving emails from Apache each time a new stable release is available, most of which say you should install them due to security issues. The current stable release of apache being offered is 2.2.17
Q1) Do you recommend I upgrade from Apache 2.2.8 to 2.2.17?
Q2) Does this come automatically with my regular updates via Update Manager once the Ubuntu community thinks its stable enough (it appears that it doesn't)?
Q3) What is the best way to install the update?
Q4) Any concerns about installing it into a live environment? I don't have a development platform to try it in first.

I'm looking to run some R scripts on a mysql database (engine =csv) from the apache webserver.
The goal is to record some statistics/numbers while someone is logged in, pass those numbers to r, run some statistics algorithms on the passed set of data and output an image file back to the logged-in user's html web page.
Doing this along with knowledge on how to call general r functions from within a php framework would be great.

I would like to add ROR to my web server, but I would still like to keep php. I tried doing this a few days ago, but it made my PHP unusable so that it would ask me to download a file rather than displaying the php page. how to install ruby on rails without trashing my system again.

So here is my problem. I have websiteA.com and websiteB.com. I only have one public IP address. And websiteB needs to be constantly restarted, so both need to be on separate apache servers or instances.Virtual directories wont work cause I can only point websiteA to a directory /var/www/websiteA.Reverse proxy wont work cause I can only catch a sub directory.Proxy /websiteA/ URL...Does anyone know how I could get this to work in anyway.

They can ping my computer but cant telnet to it on port 6060 (thats the one is set the server up on)
What's wrong with my configuration its mostly the default with a few changes that I hoped would make the site work.

I have a virtual server setup on port 80 that works fine, however, if I change the port to, say, 8080 the browser then fails to connect.I'm using webmin to configure everything, all the other settings seem to work as I would expect.I get the error "Safari canī open the page http://192.168.0.12:8080 because Safari cant connect to the server 192.168.0.1." in safari, and i get something similar on the xubuntu machine in firefox connecting via localhost.It's almost as though theres a firewall in the way, but I think it's more likely to be some config problem.

I've setup a Ubuntu 9.10 LAMP server to host a word press blog on an intranet. I've got everything working except the url for the site.The IP address of the server will take me to the site URL.../But I'd rather use the server's name instead of the IP address URL...When i try to go to URL... in Firefox or IE it give me a server not found page and changes the URL to URL...I also have Webmin installed on the server and I've been playing around with the Apache module and can't figure out how to set it so i can use the server name instead of the IP address to get to the site.

I am running an apache server thru webmin, on a 8.04 install. Attempting to install awstats I have realized that access.log stopped writing some months ago. Went back thru the error logs and found I had deleted the virtual server, and started a new one. Everything else works fine, it never even occurred to me that logging would not also be restarted. I would just like to get it going again, any clues???

When we run php scripts that move/rename/etc files, the script does not have access to write to files in our web root. Changing permissions to 777 fixes the problem, but obviously this is not an option..I've been reading up about suexec, phpsuexec, and suphp, but we can't seem to figure any of this out.In phpinfo(),the Server API reads: Server API Apache 2.0 Handlerbut on another server (where everything works, it reads : Server API CGI/FastCGIIs there ANY way to achieve this?

My config:
Ubuntu 9.0.4 (all up to date with security patches)
Apache 2.2.11
MySQL version 5.0.75
PHP Version 5.2.6-3ubuntu4.5
I'm running Ubuntu as a Virtual machine with VMWare on top of a Windows 2008 Server. It has been working perfectly for nearly 9 months. I have one processor and 2GB of Ram assigned to the Virtual machine. Memory usage seldom ever reaches more than 50%, swapfile is hardly used either. I noticed recently that sites were loading very slow from time to time. Webmin showed me that USER / KERNEL were together using 100% cpu. I then started searching for answers to what was causing this and then read about using HTOP. I then installed HTOP and found that the following processes were the culprits
/usr/sbin/mysqld
/usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
There are multiple instances of mysqld and apache2 listed in HTOP, I assume this is because I run multiple sites on the box. It does however seem limited to only one or two PID's that are repeatedly maxing out the CPU at 100% (every 30 seconds to a minute) sometimes the CPU will stay maxed at 100% for nearly a minute and then free itself again but it is doing this continually. At the point when the CPU maxes out at 100% there will be one instance of mySQLD and one instance of Apache2 right at the top of HTOP and between the two they will be hogging 100% cpu. All the sites are either Wordpress or Joomla sites and I am quite confident it's one of these sites causing a problem.
My issue is that I cannot pin down which PID belongs to which site. Then, once I know which site it is how do I then trace what process / file inside that site is casuing the problem? I figured one of my busiest sites (wordpress) might be the culprit and I installed the W3 Total Cache plugin today but that has not helped this 100% cpu problem, so for all I know it might be another WP site on the box or even one of the Joomla sites. I've noticed that the TIME column on the one MYSQLD instance that maxes out is very long so it seems like Mysql is keeping some connection open or something?

I'm configuring Apache for the first time on this box (8.04 LTS) and Apache2 for the first time ever. "Out of the box" it runs fine and I get the "It Works" page okay. But I'd like to use the virtual site feature to direct Apache to a folder in my user space, and I keep getting errors.
When I point a browser at localhost, the 404 message is "The requested URL / was not found on this server." and the /var/log/apache2/error.log ends with "File does not exist: /htdocs.
Here's my config file from the apache2/sites-available folder:
Code:
I diff'ed this file with the default and the only differences are in the DocumentRoot line and the <Directory ...> line.
My public_html folder has permissions 755 and the index.html file is 644.
