I am trying to setup apache as a reverse proxy and as a webserver simultaneously.

The scenario is basically as follows: I have periodical websites that have been authenticated by my webservers IP address, so what I am trying to achieve is to allow users access to those periodicals but only through my webserver. I have tried a couple of sites online and so far I get the reverse proxy running on my webserver but whenever I enable the reverse proxy my webserver tools like ISPconfig get disabled.

I am using an Ubuntu 11.04 Server. If some one knows of something I maybe doing wrong please let me know Thanks

Do you have an example config or maybe a good tutorial that I can use because as soon as I enable the VirtualHost, I get a permission error when I try and access the other resources. Many thanks – ldev22 Aug 9 '11 at 12:14

I'd recommend setting up a VirtualHost for the host you want to serve the periodicals from, which should separate the public site from the internal applications like ISPConfig you have installed.

Do you have an example config that I could use because I tried using the following: <VirtualHost 192.168.1.140:80> ServerAdmin hostmaster@examplesite.net ServerName examplesite.net # Define log locations. ErrorLog /srv/http/log/examplesite/error_log CustomLog /srv/http/log/examplesite/access_log combined # Configure reverse proxy. ProxyRequests Off ProxyPreserveHost Off <Location /> ProxyPass 192.168.1.50 ProxyPassReverse 192.168.1.50 Order allow,deny Allow from all </Location> </VirtualHost> – ldev22 Aug 9 '11 at 12:13
