Have been trying to get an apache proxy set up to serve all content in a sub directory from a new application server
If I use this rewrite rule it works and I get redirected to the new site
RewriteRule ^/blog/(.+)/$ "https://master-7rqtwti-i7feq5lebr6se.eu-2.platformsh.site/blog/$1" [R,L]
So I tried changing this to a proxy directive:
RewriteRule ^/blog/(.+)/$ "https://master-7rqtwti-i7feq5lebr6se.eu-2.platformsh.site/blog/$1" [P,L]
ProxyPassReverse "/blog/" "https://master-7rqtwti-i7feq5lebr6se.eu-2.platformsh.site/blog/"
Didn't work.
Decided to try setting it up as a proxypass in a location block:
<Location "/blog/">
SSLProxyEngine on
ProxyPreserveHost on
ProxyPass "https://master-7rqtwti-i7feq5lebr6se.eu-2.platformsh.site/blog/"
ProxyPassReverse "https://master-7rqtwti-i7feq5lebr6se.eu-2.platformsh.site/blog/"
</Location>
Still didn't work
Took the directives out of the Location block and edited them to be:
SSLProxyEngine on
ProxyPreserveHost on
ProxyPass "/blog/" "https://master-7rqtwti-i7feq5lebr6se.eu-2.platformsh.site/blog"
ProxyPassReverse "/blog/" "https://master-7rqtwti-i7feq5lebr6se.eu-2.platformsh.site/blog"
still not working
Switched off the certificate verification (I trust the cert on the new application server) :
SSLProxyVerify none
SSLProxyCheckPeerCN off
SSLProxyCheckPeerName off
SSLProxyCheckPeerExpire off
So finally, requests are getting passed through to the other server but now I am seeing a 404 error returned by the application server because the server doesn't understand the original URL (https://www.mysite.co.uk/blog/)
No errors in the log files in either server?!?!
What do I need to change to get this working?
