Apache’s ProxyPass on Ubuntu

October 20, 2006 at 4:33 pm · Filed under Linux, Ubuntu

  1. Install apache2. On Ubuntu type:
     # apt-get install apache2
  2. Activate mod_proxy:
     # a2enmod proxy
  3. Create a new file in /etc/apache2/sites-available, named metak (or whatever):
    NameVirtualHost *
<Virtualhost *>
  DocumentRoot "/var/www/metak"
  ServerName localhost
  ServerAdmin support@mycompany.com
  DirectoryIndex index.html index.phpProxyRequests On
  ProxyPreserveHost On
  ProxyVia full

  <proxy>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
  </proxy>

  ProxyPass        /  http://www.metak.com
  ProxyPassReverse /  http://www.metak.com
</Virtualhost>
  4. Enable the new site and restart apache2:
    # a2ensite metak
# /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

    Thanks that helped. It seems to me that

    ProxyPass / http://www.metak.com

    should have a slash at the end

    ProxyPass / http://www.metak.com/

    since otherwise links to a page page.html become http://www.metak.compage.html (slash missing).
