I have multiple applications running in Oracle APEX 5. They are served through ORDS and Weblogic 12.2. Then a web front end to serve the reverse proxy. It may sound dumb, but that's what we were tasked to do. I used mod_proxy to get the reverse proxy going, but I'm having issues hiding the application number. The original url is devapp101.cloud.com:7003/ords/f?p=101 . What I want users to navigate is devapex.cloud.com what I have is devapex.cloud.com/ords/f?p=101 . Here is the config I've got right now. What can I do to have users only use devapex.cloud.com?
###devapex.cloud.com
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin#cloud.com
ServerName devapex.cloud.com
ErrorLog logs/devapex.error_log
CustomLog logs/devapex.access_log common
### re-direct to the appropriate server
ProxyPreserveHost On
#RequestHeader set WL-Proxy-SSL true
ProxyPass / http://devapp101.cloud.com:7003/
ProxyPassReverse / http://devapp101.cloud.com:7003/
</VirtualHost>
I've looked at mod_rewrite, but I'm not seeing how that can do what I want to happen. Please excuse my noobness here, but I've searched everywhere for this scenario, and I have not found it anywhere.
You need to configure 'Oracle WebLogic Server Proxy Plug-In' to proxy requests from web front end to WebLogic.
Check the document :
https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1221/webtier/develop-plugin/toc.htm
What is your web front end to serve the reverse proxy?
Check the documents to match the middleware of your web front end.
(If 'Apache HTTP Server', check 'Configuring the Plug-In for Apache HTTP Server'.)

I have an apache server with a bought domain.
I want to know if it is possible to redirect some web pages... For example
I have a NextCloud Server that I want to access by www.example.com/nextcloud
And a plex server I want to access by www.example.com/plex
PD: I don't have the possibilities of subdomains like www.plex.example.com because I didn't hire it when I bought the domain
Is this possible? How do I need to configure apache virtualhost? Thanks!
You mention that you want to access by www.example.com/nextcloud and by www.example.com/plex. I will therefore take for granted that you do not want the site address to change in your client's browser. So no redirection here. Redirection would change the address bar value.
Then the option you want is a reverse proxy. It will "hide" the fact that the client is being served pages by another site or application.
Assumptions:
You have system 1 with an Apache server that responds to http://www.example.com
You have system 2 with an application that responds to http://www.domain1.com/nextcloud.
You have system 3 with an a plex application that reponds to http://www.domain2.com/plex
Therefore on system 1, in the configuration file for your Apache (most probably httpd.conf), you will:
load the proxy modules
add these lines in your <VirtualHost>:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAlias example.com
[... SOME OTHER CONFIG ...]
ProxyPass "/nextcloud" "http://www.domain1.com/nextcloud"
ProxyPassReverse "/nextcloud" "http://www.domain1.com/nextcloud"
ProxyPass "/plex "http://www.domain2.com/plex"
ProxyPassReverse "/plex" "http://www.domain2.com/plex"
[... SOME OTHER CONFIG ...]
</VirtualHost>
Now domain1.com and domain2.com can be IP addresses, but using dns is so much better for flexibility. Adjust this sample as required.
Complete mod_proxy documentation: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy.html
I have Apache 2.4, and I want use it as local proxy server. This is my config of VirtualHost:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.4:1596>
RewriteEngine on
ProxyRequests On
DocumentRoot "D:/USR/www/proxy"
ErrorLog "D:/USR/log/proxy/error.log"
CustomLog "D:/USR/log/proxy/access.log" common
ServerAdmin webmaster#bot-host
</VirtualHost>
I want to redirect traffic. For example, when user go to https://example1.com/somepage it will redirected to https://example25.com/
I also want to rewrite URL. For example, when user sent request https://example1.com/somepage?parm1=1596¶m2=asdfg789 proxy server will send https://example1.com/somepage?parm1=1789¶m2=kloxcfjiobvjx9
I know that this can be done using a mod_rewrite function, but I cannot do that. All examples I have seen are about how to redirect in my server pages, but I need a redirecting and rewriting a request on proxy server from other domains.
I don't want to use Squid, I need to do this with Apache.
So, I want to have a local proxy sever with some rules of redirecting and rewriting. Rewriting is very much needed.
So, when user is connected to proxy 127.0.0.4:1596 and go to https://example1.com/somepage, but in fact that server get content from example25.com , and in another case (it is most wanted by me) when user send https://example1.com/somepage?parm1=1596¶m2=asdfg789 server is really send a https://example1.com/somepage?parm1=1789¶m2=kloxcfjiobvjx9 an get answer to user.
I am trying to access the yacceleratorstorefront/electronics/en/?site=electronics URL from apache web server to Hybris where the electronic store URL is configured. The electronic store URL is accessible and working from any of the server in environment if apache web server is BY PASSED
http://10.0.1.141:9001 is my Hybris server.

The error message indicates that you are not setting the ?site=electronics parameter at the http version of you proxy (it also seems to be missing in the proxypass setting for port 80).
I'm not an apache buff but maybe it works if you configure your proxy settings for port 80 in the same way:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://10.0.1.141:9001/?site=electronics
ProxyPassReverse / http://10.0.1.141:9001/?site=electronics
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
Just some more info: Apart from the site parameter approach you can also use a host name approach.
Not sure if you have access to the hybris wiki, but here are some more details:
https://wiki.hybris.com/display/pmtelco/Using+Modulegen+to+Create+a+B2C+Telco+Setup#UsingModulegentoCreateaB2CTelcoSetup-AccessingtheStorefront
(its for Telco accelerator, but it works the same for any other storefront).
Not sure how that works together with apache, I assume you have to setup some sub domains or something.
Does it work if you try to access apache on https directly? (There it seems you have the correct url containing the site parameter).
Note: The site parameter is basically only needed for the first http request of a session. It is used to determine which storefront, i.e. BaseSite is supposed to be used. All subsequent requests (of the same session) shouldn't require the site parameter.
Hope that helps!
Your http config is fine. Your https config is wrong.
Do not put ?site=electronics or anything like that in your apache config.
The site detection works based on the URL. In the sample data you are using that is at least a regex looking for "electronics" in the hostname.
One single apache config will be able to support all sites. You do not need to specify the site. You do not need to specify /yacceleratorstorefront.
Simply edit your hosts file to include "10.0.1.141 electronics.rtfm"
Now access http://electronics.rtfm/
You can avoid adding the site in the URL by going in HMC: WCMS > Websites
Under the Properties tab, add a new URL pattern that will match your site.
Once it is done, URLs that match the site's pattern will automatically use that site.
Using URL patterns for each site will simplify the web server's configuration.
What I'm basically trying to accomplish is having my main website running a CMS written in Go. This will be located at www.example.com.
I also have applications written in PHP located in directories, such as www.example.com/clients/
How can I serve example.com/clients using Apache/PHP while serving example.com using Go built-in web server?
Via mod_proxy in Apache2, you can proxy different paths into different destinations at localhost or anywhere else accessible by your server, including within your local network (if your server can access it).
For this you would use ProxyPass (Apache2 Docs for ProxyPass, which is very useful reading) like the example below:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName some.example.host.xyz
DocumentRoot /var/www/your-document-root
Alias /clients/ /var/www/clients/
ProxyPass /clients/ !
ScriptAlias /something-using-cgi/ /var/www/cgi-stuff/
ProxyPass /something-using-cgi/ !
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://localhost:9876/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:9876/
ProxyPass /elsewhere/ http://elsewhere.example.host.xyz:1234/
ProxyPassReverse /elsewhere/ http://elsewhere.example.host.xyz:1234/
</VirtualHost>
You'll want to be sure that you set your proxy security such that external users can't use your reverse proxy as a forward proxy, too. You can do that via ProxyRequests as described in the official Apache2 docs. The way I did this on a server is to put this in your server-wide config (you should verify on your own that this is secure enough):
# disables forward proxy
ProxyRequests Off
Andrew Gerrand has a good blog post about this for nginx but the principle is the same for Apache.
You want to set up Apache as a reverse proxy for requests coming in for the Go application.
For Apache you want to look at mod_proxy
I'm pretty new to Apache configurations... is the following possible?
I have 2 separate web servers, each hosting a different application - totally separate.
My main application is under the domain www.example.com. What I want to do is set the other server's domain to something like www.example.com/newapp so that when users go to this URL, they will be redirected to the 2nd server (which is a totally different domain/IP/virtualhost); pages under this second server's url will always be www.example.com/newapp/xxxx.
NOTE: there is nothing matching this directory structure under the first, main application.
Basically, the www.example.com/newapp/ application is completely separate, but I want users to think its actually the same website.
You need to configure the first server handling all example.com requests to proxy requests to the new server when a request for example.com/newapp is received. This will cost you bandwidth on both sides, beware of that.
Using ProxyPass & ProxyPassReverse should suffice. If you want hyperlink conversion as well, you need to use mod_proxy_html
ProxyPass /newapp/ http://xx.xx.xx.xx/newapp
ProxyPassReverse /newapp/ http://xx.xx.xx.xx/newapp
mod_proxy_html: http://apache.webthing.com/mod_proxy_html/
<VirtualHost *:80>
UseCanonicalName Off
ProxyPass /newapp/ http://xx.xx.xx.xx/
ProxyPassReverse /newapp/ http://xx.xx.xx.xx/
Include /etc/apache2/conf/railsapp.conf
</VirtualHost>
