Preamble:

I've configured a publicly accessible server with multiple virtual hosts. The requests for one virtual host need to be sent to a backend server. All the other requests need to be served locally.

Problem:

The request for ALL the virtual hosts are passed on to the IP address specified in the ProxyPass directive once the website which needs to be proxied is enabled. When I try to visit any of the other virtual hosts I get the webpage from the proxied website. When disabling the proxied website all other virtual hosts resume normal operation and are served locally.

Config:

The config I have on the publicly accessible server for the virtual hosts: (other virtual hosts are copies of the same config)

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName www.mainsite.com ServerAlias mainsite.com ServerAdmin [email protected] DirectoryIndex index.php DocumentRoot /var/www/mainsite.com <Directory /> AllowOverride None </Directory> LogLevel info ErrorLog /var/log/mainsite.com_err.log CustomLog /var/log/mainsite.com_access.log combined </VirtualHost>

The config I have on the publicly accessible server for the virtual host to be proxied:

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName calendar.othersite.com ServerAdmin [email protected] ProxyRequests Off <Location /> ProxyPass http://192.168.0.1/ ProxyPassReverse http://192.168.0.1/ </Location> <Proxy> Order Allow,Deny Allow from all </Proxy> TransferLog /var/log/othersite.com_access.log ErrorLog /var/log/othersite.com_err.log CustomLog /var/log/othersite.com.log combined LogLevel debug </VirtualHost>

  • You should be able to set up a ProxyPass/Reverse line for that specific site before the general one and have it go there, Apache should read them from first to last. Commented Sep 3, 2013 at 19:29
  • I'd try to add DocumentRoot /var/www/othersite.com. It can be empty directory of course. It's a wild guess though - I'm just not sure if <Location /> does not leak to other sites if it is for example /var/www for this vhost, inherited from main config. Commented Sep 3, 2013 at 19:41
  • @Tometzky Adding DocumentRoot did not solve the problem. Commented Sep 3, 2013 at 19:46
  • Another wild guess - remove ProxyPassReverse and add ProxyPreserveHost on instead. Commented Sep 3, 2013 at 19:53
  • @Tometzky removing ProxyPassReverse and adding ProxyPreseveHost did not solve the problem. Commented Sep 3, 2013 at 20:02
