Re: [users@httpd] IP address used by Apache reverse proxy?

[Frank Gingras]

You can define a IP vhost too if you like. It doesn't matter.

And yes, read the official documentation about vhosts, as linked before.

Re: [users@httpd] IP address used by Apache reverse proxy?

[Osman Zakir]

Is that for IP-based virtual hosts?

And will free subdomain work for this when I go ahead and try to use a DNS to 
reach my server after I've gotten this to work?  Just want to ask this first, 
just in case.

I can read about how to define a front-facing vhost in the examples and 
documentation, right?

In a nutshell, you need to:

1) Define a front-facing vhost. You can use DNS and name-based vhosts to reach 
it
2) Decide what URI path you want to proxy in that vhost
3) If you proxy / (i.e. every request), then you don't need a DocumentRoot in 
that vhost. Otherwise, you need one
4) You don't need to use DNS to specify the target of your backend server. 
ProxyPass / http://IP_HERE:PORT/ is perfectly fine.
5) I actually recommend that you do not use DNS to reach the proxied server, 
initially. Keep things simple first.

Re: [users@httpd] IP address used by Apache reverse proxy?

[Frank Gingras]

In a nutshell, you need to:

1) Define a front-facing vhost. You can use DNS and name-based vhosts to
reach it
2) Decide what URI path you want to proxy in that vhost
3) If you proxy / (i.e. every request), then you don't need a DocumentRoot
in that vhost. Otherwise, you need one
4) You don't need to use DNS to specify the target of your backend server.
ProxyPass / http://IP_HERE:PORT/ is perfectly fine.
5) I actually recommend that you do not use DNS to reach the proxied
server, initially. Keep things simple first.

Re: [users@httpd] IP address used by Apache reverse proxy?

[Osman Zakir]

Let me just say again, first, that I have a subdomain name I want to use for my 
app.

Okay.  Anyway, when I tried to get to my app just now after starting the Apache 
httpd as a service, I got an error page in Edge saying that it can't reach the 
page.  I'd like to show you my httpd configuration file again to make sure if I 
have the reverse proxy configuration done correctly.

I want to know the IP address so I can use it in my hosts file, since you said 
I can add an entry to the hosts file mapping that IP address to a given name 
domain name (or subdomain name in my case).  Though I'm not sure if doing it 
like that would make the app publicly available from anywhere.

What happens if I set up an IP-based virtual host instead?  And how easy or 
hard would it be to map a domain or subdomain name to that IP address?

Another question: the current file path I have for my virtual host DocumentRoot 
setting is the one my app's files are in.  Should I set it to the htdocs folder 
instead (if so, how do I tell it that it what files it has to serve behind a 
reverse proxy?)?
