I've found similar questions on Stack and other forums but no working answers.
I have a node.js chat server running on port 3000 of my local machine, and an Apache server running on port 80. They both work as expected: browsing to localhost gives me Apache, and localhost:3000 gives me the node app. However, when I set up a ProxyPass directive to make the nodejs app accessible from localhost/node, like this...
<VirtualHost *:80>
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests Off
ServerName localhost
ProxyPass /node http://localhost:3000/
ProxyPassReverse /node http://localhost:3000/
</VirtualHost>
... the page loads, but the server isn't processing the page. It renders, but node doesn't work.
Notably, the following configuration allows me to access the node server on port 80 for all traffic, but isn't what I want to achieve.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests Off
ServerName localhost
ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3000/
</VirtualHost>

I have installed mongoDB in GCP virtual machine. I am using apache reverse proxy to forward my domain 'example.com' to mongoDB port http://localhost:27017.
When I try to connect my remote db using:
mongo -u admin -p admin example.com it does not work. But when I try connect my remote db using:
mongo -u admin -p admin remote_ip:27017 it works. How can I make the domain part working. Here is my Apache .conf file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
<Proxy balancer://mycluster>
BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:27017
</Proxy>
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / balancer://mycluster/
ProxyPassReverse / balancer://mycluster/
</VirtualHost>
You made an HTTP proxy. Mongo shell attempts to create a persistent TCP connection, which your proxy doesn't know how to deal with.
I'm not sure if Apache even can do this. It's really just meant to pass on http requests. I do know nginx can do it. Here is more info on how:
https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/load-balancer/tcp-udp-load-balancer/
I have configured a Keycloak server with Apache at the front acting as a reverse proxy. Keycloak is running on http mode only, all the SSL is being handled by Apache. I've configured the whole system according to the official Keycloak docs.
The problem I'm facing is, on accessing the Keycloak admin console from a machine other than localhost, the page is blank (except the navbar). On accessing from the machine on which it is hosted (localhost), it works fine, but on accessing from any other machine it just shows a blank page. The server also does not throw any error. I'm attaching an image of the blank admin page below.

Another thing to note would be, other pages, like my account page, are working fine. The problem is only with the main admin page. Also, I've noticed that the admin page is an Angular app, so that may be relevant.
Relevant configs and settings I'm using.
Keycloak settings (CLI commands).

I have a nodejs api application running inside a codeigniter environment. Im trying to access the nodejs api's without using a port number in the url
currently you can only hit the node api at
http://wrl.xx.com:8010/api
And I would like to have it accessible through a url like :
http://wrl.xx.com/api/
I tried to run a reverse proxy with no success
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName wrl.xx.com
ProxyRequests off
<Proxy *>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8010/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8010/
ProxyPreserveHost on
</VirtualHost>
Assuming you intend to differentiate requests looking for the nodejs app from requests seeking the codigniter app by seeing /api as the root path, try:
ProxyPass /api http://localhost:8010/api
ProxyPassReverse /api http://localhost:8010/api
See ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse for more magic.
Disclaimer: I have no experience with codeigniter, so this may be non relevant, or false.
Your node.js server listen to port 8010, which is non standard, that is why you need to indicate it in the URL.
You seems to imply codeigniter is already listening to the standard port (80).
The way I see, with no knowledge of codeigniter, to go around the issue would be to either host all the node.js url in codeigniter, and redirect them to port 8010:
Client call /node on port 80
CodeIgniter call /node on himself at port 8010
Node get the request and answer
Code igniter gove the answer to the client
Or the reverse, which would be to host any codeigniter URL in node.js, and redirect them to whatever port codeigniter will listen.
Or you will need to configure Apache to redirect the request to port whatever codeigniter on or 8010 depending of the url.
I am running two node servers on my website. 1 is a socket.io server for live streaming data on the main site and the other is streaming JSON data to a sub-domain api.site.com.
my main node is running on port 8001 and the second is running on 8080. I have been able to hide the port number for the first one in .htaccess using
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 8001
but am struggling to hide the 8080 port.
If I add in RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 8080 and go to my api location api.site.com/prices/all I get 404 not found error and if I go to api.site.com:8080/prices/all everything still works.
How can I hide the port so api.site.com/prices/all works?
This is also slightly linked to my other question: here where I want to deny other .get attempts so api.site.com/price wont work.
You can put your config directly in the domain.conf folder the following works for me every time. Port here is 8888 change customise that and the domain to your settings.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mydomain.foobar
ServerAlias mydomain.foobar
ServerAdmin info#lakes.world
DocumentRoot /path/to/mydomain.foobar/httpdocs
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass / http://mydomain.foobar:8888/
ProxyPassReverse / http://mydomain.foobar:8888/
</VirtualHost>
I'm creating an html5 - JavaScript app (for mobile devices, using PhoneGap). I have to interact with a REST service.
The service is now running on "http://localhost:8080/backend/mvc/"
I'm developing my app on an wamp server (apache2) (http://localhost/stage/)
I'm using Chrome for browser.
when preforming an ajax call the browser responds: XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost:8080/backend/mvc/event. Origin http://localhost is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.
So I find several ways to circumvent this cross-domain ajax call problem:
1) starting chrome chrome.exe --disable-web-security
=> no difference
2) configuring apache using mod_proxy to redirect the traffic.
I enabled in the httpd.conf:
proxy_module
proxy_connect_module
proxy_http_module
I put a .htaccess file in the www root with the following content:
# start mod_rewrite
RewriteEngine On
ProxyRequests off
<Proxy>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /EMBackend/ http://localhost:8080/backend/mvc/
ProxyPassReverse /EMBackend/ http://localhost:8080/backend/mvc/
RewriteRule ^/EMBackend/(.*)$ /backend/mvc/$1 [R]
I restarted all services (apache,php,..)
resulting in error 500
apache error log: [Tue Oct 18 14:30:11 2011] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1] C:/wamp/www/.htaccess: ProxyRequests not allowed here
Any clues on how to resolve this?
I found a working solution:
Enable:
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
Put this in the main section of your configuration (or desired virtual host, if using Apache virtual hosts):
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /EMBackend http://localhost:8080/backend/mvc
ProxyPassReverse /EMBackend http://localhost:8080/backend/mvc
<Location /EMBackend>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>
So I guess I can't put it in .htaccess or I had to set ProxyPreserveHost On. I put Include conf/extra/ in the httpd.conf file and created the httpd-proxy.conf file and put the script above in it. Restarted apache and it's working!
You could simply add the given lines in the httpd.conf after enabling the proxy modules.
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /EMBackend http://localhost:8080/backend/mvc
ProxyPassReverse /EMBackend http://localhost:8080/backend/mvc
Just restart the server and you are done.
In very modern apache, turn on proxy by:
a2enmod proxy;
a2enmod proxy_http
