Subject: some misconfiguration in making a reverse proxy not clear
what went wrong
To: debian-users@lists.debian.org
I want to host sites.
http://www.myserver.com
http://site1.myserver.com
I have a public IP rest is on LAN.The main site is on public IP and
want any request on site1.myserver.com to be redirected to internal
LAN web server which will process the requests.
I am using a Debian Lenny and apache2.
In an earlier post on the forum I was able to configure Apache Reverse Proxy
by changing apache2.conf
the sites hosted at that time were
http://www.myserver.com
http://www.myserver.com/site1
Now I have formatted my server and it is a fresh installation of
Debian Lenny and apache2 on it so previous settings are not there.
This time I created two virtual hosts.There are two files in
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf
site1.myserver.com
and myserver.com
then
a2ensite myserver.com
a2ensite site1.myserver.com
The configuration of these are as follows
/etc/apache2/sites-available/myserver.com
contains
[code]
NameVirtualHost 10.10.10.10:80
NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.14:80
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.14:80 10.10.10.10:80>
#10.10.10.10 is my public IP
#The above idea was from apache documentation
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/examples.html

</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
[/code]
and the file
/etc/apache2/sites-available/site1.myserver.com
has
[code]
NameVirtualHost 10.10.10.10:80
NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.14:80
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.14:80 10.10.10.10:80>
#10.10.10.10 is my public IP

</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
[/code]
Then /etc/init.d/apache2 restart .Now If I point my browser to
http://www.myserver.com
or http://site1.myserver.com
they both are pointing to same site http://www.myserver.com
I do not have access to DNS.
In my /etc/hosts
I have
[code]
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.14 myserver.com myserver
192.168.1.6 site1.myserver.com site1
[/code]
I wasted 24 hours on this went through
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/dns-caveats.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/
but still I am not able to catch the problem.
There is no URL rewriting till now.
