Redirect to OM installed in a remote server
Hello Group,
I have to disturb you again with a new question. Actually this one would
be more for the httpd group, and I have posted it there too, but since I
didn't receive any reply there, I figure maybe some of you knows the
answer to it.
The scenario is that I have my website in a hosted server, where I
however can't install OM because I don't have administrator rights. The
solution I have thought of is to install the program in my server.
However my server is now reachable with a DDNS address and I think this
doesn't look very professional to the visitors of the website. The
website has a top level domain: www.ophaniel.eu, and my server has
andreacroci.ddns.net. I have read that it is possible to redirect the
ophaniel.eu domain (or a part of it) to another domain, without changing
the URL in the addressbar in the browser. This would be a great
solution, but it's not working. I have tried all the configurations that
I found with google, and they are a lot. I have asked the hosting
provider, but he can't help me.
The closer I get to something nice is if I make a subdirectory in the
ophaniel.eu directory (say "presentations-en/") and I lay there an
.htaccess file with a rewrite rule:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://andreacroci.ddns.net:5080$1 [P]
When I do this, however, I get an error:
Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request /GET /presentations-en/
<http://www.ophaniel.eu/presentations-en/>/.
Reason: Error reading from remote server
According to the provider the "Proxy server" is their server and the
"upstream server" is mine. I have tried to put several versions of
ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse rules in my apache2.conf file, with
different values of directory and port, but nothing works. If the Proxy
server is the provider's server, I have also thought maybe I have to put
these directives in the .htaccess file in their server, but that didn't
work either. I'm out of clues on this.
Is there anyone here who can tell me what the right configuration for
this would be? I will be happy to provide the configuration files you
tell me in order to help you.
Thank you a lot,
Andrea.

I suggest that you create a page in ophaniel.eu site wich contains an internal iframe whose src parameter is your ddns address pointing at your OM server

Re: Redirect to OM installed in a remote server
Posted by Maxim Solodovnik <so...@gmail.com>.
assuming you have ServerA and ServerB
OM is installed on ServerA and available using following URL:
http://ServerA:5080/openmeetings
you need to open Apache config on ServerB and set rules like this:
<Location /openmeetings>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
ProxyPass http://ServerA:5080/openmeetings
ProxyPassReverse http://ServerA:5080/openmeetings
</Location>
plus additional lines for RTMPT specific queries might be required (search
openmeetings.markmail.org)

Hi Maxim,
that's what I tried too, but it didn't work.

I believe this can be done using mod_proxy
