Pre-requisites - Understanding your environment
The Opmantke VM Appliance is CentOS 6 and ships with Apache v2.2
The latest version of Apache which ships with most recent OSs is Apache v2.4
There are differences in where Configuration files are stored between OSs. There is a difference in the syntax for configuration files between apache versions.
Note now what OS you are on and what Apache version you have.

There are lots of useful things you can do with proxying and Apache. For example pushing URLs from HTTP to HTTPS, doing SSL offload, having different URLs for different customers, having the same server name for lots of your services hosted on different internal servers etc. To properly understand all the details refer to: Apache 2.4 http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/reverse_proxy.html Apache 2.2
Of course your company may also have sophisticated proxying and load balanncing appliances already in place, in which case do use those. |
