Subdomain proxy for Apache

Tanner

I'm attempting to redirect the NodeBB install to a subdomain using Apache. I have created a virtualhosts.conf file in /etc/apache2/sites-available with the configuration below:

ProxyRequests off

ServerName forum.fatalfleet.com
ServerAlias forum.fatalfleet.com

<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /socket.io/1/websocket ws://104.236.23.78:4567/socket.io/1/websocket
ProxyPassReverse /socket.io/1/websocket ws://104.236.23.78:4567/socket.io/1/websocket

ProxyPass /socket/io/ http://104.236.23.78:4567/socket.io/
ProxyPassReverse /socket.io/ http://104.236.23.78:4567/socket.io/

ProxyPass / http://104.236.23.78:4567/
ProxyPassReverse / http://104.236.23.78:4567/

What am I doing wrong here?

Tanner

I instead added a VirtualHost entry in default.conf rather than virtualhosts.conf and it worked.

Scratch that, now i'm getting 502 Proxy Error whenever I try to access the site.

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /.

Reason: Error reading from remote server

any intuitions?

Did you try it with localhost like the docs say? I'm assuming you don't have to symlink it to sites-enabled like with nginx?

Also, as you're on 2.2.22 of Debian, did you do this? Looks fun...

This works for Ubuntu 12.04 as well, it took awhile but I got it to work.

<Proxy *>

ProxyPass /socket.io/1/websocket ws://127.0.0.1:4567/socket.io/1/websocket
ProxyPassReverse /socket.io/1/websocket ws://127.0.0.1:4567/socket.io/1/websocket

ProxyPass /socket.io/ http://127.0.0.1:4567/socket.io/
ProxyPassReverse /socket.io/ http://127.0.0.1:4567/socket.io/

ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:4567/
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:4567/

I keep it at 127.0.0.1 because nodebb is on the same server as everything else on it. Try leaving it at 127.0.0.1 and see where that gets you.

@a_5mith I switched it to localhost and now I'm getting a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable error.

Tanner

Now, I had fixed it, and it was working, but now I have returned to getting the 502 Proxy Error. What could be causing this?
