Hi, I am a newbie to reverse proxy (and system administration in general) and I am looking for pointers. I have an operational Apache 2.2 server accepting requests on port 80. I also have an operational service listening to 8080 on the server, but this port is blocked by a router. I have been advised to set-up reverse proxy. I have read some documents and I get the overall idea, but I am a bit stuck with configuration.
i) It seems like some modules (proxy_html_module...) have to be installed on my Apache 2.2. Is there a command or instruction I can use to check whether these modules are already installed? ii) If these modules are not installed, should I enable them by adding some LoadModule lines in httpd.conf and restart the webserver? Is that the right way to proceed? iii) I have been suggested to add something based on the following in my httpd.conf: <IfModule proxy_module> <IfModule proxy_ajp_module> ProxyPass /myserv ajp://localhost:8080/myserv ProxyPassReverse /myserv ajp://localhost:8080/myserv </IfModule> </IfModule> Is that the right way to proceed? Is the above enough? iv) I have performed some simple tests, but I always get the following message: 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later. What is causing the error? Apache or the service itself? The service is running on Solaris and has status online.
