I'm trying to setup an apache reverse proxy when accessing mysite.com to 127.0.0.1:3001, by setting up a virtual host in the WHM > Apache Configuration > Include Editor > Post VirtualHost Include (all versions).

I have a subdomain api.mysite.com (php) which is working and for front mysite.com I want to use a nodejs app that's running on server on localhost:3001.

This is what I have:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName mysite.com
    ServerAlias www.mysite.com

    ProxyRequests Off
    <Proxy *>
       Require all granted
    </Proxy>

   ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:3001/
   ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:3001/
</VirtualHost>

It only works for front when I remove virtual host and use only this part, but then it uses reverse proxy for all, even the api.mysite.com.

ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
    Require all granted
</Proxy>

ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:3001/
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:3001/

  • You need separate virtual host configurations for each domain, cf. Apache's documentation. Dec 9, 2019 at 20:52
  • Thank you for your suggestion Piotr. But I found that I have to use the WHM interface for this, which will edit /etc/apache2/conf.d/includes/post_virtualhost_global.conf. So I can't edit the main conf to include other files because it will be overwritten by WHM.

  • Yes, but you can put two <VirtualHost> definitions in the same file. Dec 9, 2019 at 21:21
  • I understand that I can have multiple VirtualHost definitions in the same file. But the main thing that confuses me, is why is this <VirtualHost *:80> definition ignored. And it only works when I set the proxy globally.

  • That probably means that WHM has defined another <VirtualHost> which overrides your config. Panel related questions are generally considered off topic here. Dec 9, 2019 at 21:41

After a chat with Piotr, he suggested to create a conf file in the /etc/apache2/conf.d/userdata/std/2/user/mysite_com.conf and move the VirtualHost definition there, and it finally worked :)
