I'm trying to do some testing on my web server to make sure reverse proxy is working as expected before putting it on a live environment, but I am running into some problems with mod_proxy and mod_proxy_html.
I have 2 virtual hosts, 1 on port 80 and 1 on port 8080. My goal is to have incoming requests for www.example.com/path/ to come in on port 80, and get reverse proxied to port 8080.
Here are my virtual host settings:
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName www.example.com:8080
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/test
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*test
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) http://127.0.0.1:8080/test.html [R=301,L]
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
ProxyHTMLEnable On
ProxyHTMLInterp On
ProxyPreserveHost Off
ProxyPass /path/ http://127.0.0.1:8080/
ProxyPassReverse /path/ http://127.0.0.1:8080/
ProxyHTMLURLMap http://127.0.0.1:8080/ /path/
</VirtualHost>
My /var/www/html/test has 2 files index.html and test.html
test.html contents are:
<HTML>
<BODY>
<a href="http://127.0.0.1:8080/index.html">TEST</a>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Going to www.example.com/path/ successfully gets proxied and redirected to www.example.com/path/test.html, but the link on the page still points to 127.0.0.1.
httpd -M does report loading proxy_module and proxy_html_module
I've also tried manually adding LoadModule to http.conf
LoadModule proxy_module /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_html_module /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_proxy_html.so
Any thoughts on why it is not working properly? Am I configuring something incorrectly?
The
mod_proxy_htmlpackage in CentOS 7 doesn't include any defaultProxyHTMLLinksorProxyHTMLEventssettings, so it does nothing unless you provide those settings yourself.One way to do that is to copy
/usr/share/doc/httpd-2.4.6/proxy-html.confinto/etc/httpd/conf.d/. That file contains the following settings, which should make things work:
