Avoid proxy blocking Etherpad Lite

1k Views Asked by At

I've set up an Etherpad Lite on my Apache server, the address is something like http://example.com:9001 and I wish to access it from my university but a proxy is blocking the port. On the wiki of the software, a technique known as "reverse proxy" is explained to circumvent that, and make the pad accessible from an address like http://pad.exemple.com or http://example.com/pad but unfortunately it's not working and I've tried many different combinations. I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong or if there any easier technique to get what I want. Thanks.

A quick google points to https://github.com/Pita/etherpad-lite/wiki/How-to-put-Etherpad-Lite-behind-a-reverse-Proxy where it is explained how to set up a reverse proxy. You should follow the instructions for Apache.

You should expose more what you have done (configuration used). Bad description implies bad answer.

So official documentation is at https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/wiki/How-to-put-Etherpad-Lite-behind-a-reverse-Proxy
