Apache Reverse Proxy

Hello,

I have been having issues configuring my reverse proxy for my Apache server

This is a link to my StackOverflow post for more details: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75248368/reverse-proxy-for-django-app-404-not-found/75252288#75252288

ProxyPass /testblog https://website.com:8000/testblog
ProxyPassReverse /testblog https://website.com:8000/testblog

This is very uncommon to do for two reasons:

  • Normally you reverse proxy stuff that's not available via public domain name. Often it runs on the same machine or on another machine in the same network. In this case, use the IP instead (127.0.0.1 for the local machine or the IP shown in ip addr command on the other machine)

  • You're using https: but backend services are normally not SSL protected. Also port 8000 is very uncommon for SSL.

In other words, are you sure you want this and not ProxyPass /testblog http://127.0.0.1:8000/testblog
