mod_proxy

[Octavian Rasnita <or...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

Does anyone have an example of setting Apache2 that use a reverse proxy with 
mod_proxy?

I have set my own, but I receive some errors in the error log and I don't 
know how to solve them, and I also don't know how to make the IP of the 
visitor appear in the back-end server's access log.

Thank you for any help.

Octavian

On the backend proxy, you can use this:

	http://search.cpan.org/~jvanasco/Apache2-xForwardedFor-0.04/lib/ 
Apache2/xForwardedFor.pm

On the front end , you'll have to do some munging to get the ip in  
the x-forwarded-for header.  I use nginx on the front, not apache, so  
can't help.

Some people prefer using x-real-ip , i don't.

There's no trick to it.  The examples in the mod_proxy documentation
should work.  You will need to turn ProxyPreserveHost on if you want
to use NameVirtualHost on the back-end server.

It would help to see the errors.

Usually people just use the access log from the proxy server instead.
