proxy from xcl01

introduction

I am happy with the results from xcl01. I want to make the sites available to my home data network. I do this using the apache web server configuration. I don't use ipvsadm, the virtual server application.

install

This is all to do with apache2 which is already installed.

configure

1. Open a CLI on the server host.
2. Use su to switch to the root account.
3. Create the file using the Vi text editor.

   xcl01:~# cd /etc/apache2/sites-available
   xcl01:/etc/apache2/sites-available# vi test.planetlarg.com
   ~
   ~
   ~
   "test.planetlarg.com" [New File]
   

4. Add these lines.

   <VirtualHost *:80>
   #
   # config will be...
   # http://test.planetlarg.com/ - drupal on xcl01
   # http://test.planetlarg.com/mediawiki/ - mediawiki on xcl01

run

content

1. Do stuff.

   a2enmod proxy
   a2enmod proxy_http
   a2ensite test.planetlarg.com
    /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
   

2. Close the CLI.

check your work

A script called apache2ctl gives many options for checking on apache2.

1. Check virtual hosts.

   /usr/sbin/apache2ctl  -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS
   

2. Close the CLI.

troubleshoot

Run it again with debugging. Write many lines to the activity log.
