I am trying to manage 2 domains with one server (running proxmox with several CT), I am using reverse proxy but seems to be wrong.. here's my configuration:
Let's say we have the main server running proxmox where I managed IPTables to redirect port 80 to the port 80 of my first container (CT01) and port 8109 to port 80 of my second container (CT02).
While using the port in my browser, everything is working well, and I am able to reach each container.
I bought 2 domain names, one for my private server (CT01) and another one for a business server (CT02). I associated both of the domain to my server address, and while typing one or another of them I am redirected to CT01 (normal, browser is running the address to the default port).
So now I tried to use reverse proxy in order to redirect to the desired server (DomainA -> CT01, DomainB -> CT02), I created 2 files in /var/apache2/sites-available/ :
/var/apache2/sites-available/domainA.com:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domainA.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/
</VirtualHost>
/var/apache2/sites-available/domainB.com:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domainB.com
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests On
ProxyPass / http://x.y.z.h:8109/
ProxyPassReverse / http://x.y.z.h:8109/
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
Then I runned a2ensite domainA.com and a2ensite domainB.com. I restarted my apache service.
But nothing have changed: both my domainA and domainB redirect me to the same container (CT01).
Any idea?
What i may suggest is doing a new CT just to host a proxy (nginx for example) that will route the requests to one or the other site depending of the Host: field value of the HTTP request. This may be a little bit overkill if it's just for two sites, but when you want to have more, it can be very useful. Plus the NGinx can be used to cache, etc.
Let me know if you are interested. I know a tutorial that you may follow, but it's in french : http://blog.ganbaranai.fr/2013/08/il-etait-une-fois-proxmox-derriere-une-ip-unique/
Hope it helps.

I have two domains domainA.com and domainB.com that both point to the same IP address/server. On that server...
I have an Apache2 web server serving port 80
I have a TomCat9 serving port 8080
I want to redirect all requests (including "/") to the default port 80 of domainB.com to the TomCat9 server on port 8080, whilst leaving all traffic to domainA.com to be handled by the Apache2 web server.
Can anyone recommend a simple recipe for achieving this?
I have looked at https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/proxy-howto.html but got somewhat lost.
May have been easier than I had expected.
I just added the following to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/donainB.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin michael.ellis#myemail
ServerName domainB.com
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
</VirtualHost>
I have no idea if this is the correct thing to do, but it seems to be doing the job.
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.

I have a vps that runs tomcat 8.0.23 and apache httpd server.
in tomcat i have 3 projects lets call them by names below:
/firstpro
/secondpro
/thirdpro
and i have a domain name lets call it www.mydomain.com
now what i wanna do if request comes to www.mydomain.com i want to forward it to
my.vps.ip.address : 8080/firstpro
the code below is my virtualhost configuration file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.mydomain.com
ServerAlias mydomain.com
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /firstpro http://localhost:8080/firstpro
ProxyPassReverse /firstpro http://localhost:8080/firstpro
</VirtualHost>
so, problem comes when i type in browser:
if i go to this url: www.mydomain.com i dont get any cookies that automatically my server generates for that session
but if i go to url: www/mydomain.com:8080/firstpro everything works fine
thanks for reading all this. and i would be glad if someone could help me to figure it out
You may need a ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain since you're forwarding between your domain and localhost. – Joachim Isaksson 3 hours ago
I am a little lost on how to achieve the following...
I have a single domain name which is running a CMS # www.mywebsite.com
If a specific URL is given apache calls the other VM (different IPv4) running a shop. www.mywebsite.com/store
I've trawled through apache vhosts but nothing seemingly covers the above scenario if its even possible ...https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/examples.html
Any guidance would be very much appreciated.
If I understand your problem correctly, you could do this with mod_proxy.
For example:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.mywebsite.com
ProxyPass /store/ http://store.local/
ProxyPassReverse /store/ http://store.local/
</VirtualHost>
You could use the IP address, server hostname or whatever in the proxy directives - store.local is just an example.
The mod_proxy documentation is extensive.
I have been working on a drupal test site for a while, which has a bunch of virtual hosts set up like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin email#example.com
DocumentRoot "/path/to/root"
ServerName testsite1.example.com
</VirtualHost>
I have been using a modified host file to view each of these test sites, along the lines of:
12.0.0.1 localhost
20.02.2.22 testsite1.example.com
20.02.2.22 testsite2.example.com
20.02.2.22 testsite3.example.com
This has worked fine, however now I need to send the sites over to some people remotely who are not technical enough to modify their own host files and see it the way I do.
Is there a way I could set up Apache so that the url "http://20.02.2.22/testsite1" would forward to testsite1.example.com internally? I am using Drupal, and the site setup needs to see the "testsite1.example.com" so that it can correctly choose the instance to select. I have been looking through apache rewrite, but I am a bit of a newb at this so any help is much appreciated.
testsite1.example.com will only be resolved on your machine, so you cannot redirect. You can set up proxy with mod_proxy. Hope this works for you:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin email#example.com
DocumentRoot "/path/to/root"
ServerName testsite1.example.com
ServerAlias 20.02.2.22
<Location /testsite1/>
ProxyPass http://testsite1.example.com/
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
The way I show my local test sites is a combination of Dynamic DNS and port-forwarding.
Internally, my Drupal site is at [my machine ip] or localhost.
I setup a free dynamic dns name to my IP and then on my router, accept incoming requests on port to route to [my machine ip]
That way, they can see yoursite.dyndns.com, but its looking at your local copy.
Why you just don't buy a new domain name and point it to your server IP address...
Or there are free domain solutions like:

or
