WP Behind a proxy

    Hello,

    I’m trying to run several websites for myself, one of them being wordpress, off of one IP. After Googling around a bit I found the mod_proxy for Apache which will let me do this. My endgame is to have something like this:
    |—> Server 1
    [internet]–>[proxy host]—+—> WordPress
    |—> Server 2
    |—> Server 3

    Each server is listening to ports 80 and 443. Here is what I have to proxy things to the WordPress server:

    NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:443

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName SERVER_URL
        ProxyPreserveHost On
        ProxyPass / https://1.2.3.4/
        ProxyPassReverse / https://1.2.3.4/
</VirtualHost>

#<VirtualHost *:443>
#        ServerName SERVER_URL
#        ProxyPreserveHost On
#        ProxyPass / https://1.2.3.4
#        ProxyPassReverse / https://1.2.3.4
#</VirtualHost>

    The SSL-secured site has been disabled for now until I can figure out how to proxy the SSL propery (some help in this area wouldn’t be unappreciated, but the main goal is I’d like to have a working site first.)

    I must apologize, I was digging through the logs on the WP server instead of my proxy server, I needed to add the following directive to actually allow the proxy:

    <Location />
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Location>

    So my new config looks like this:

    NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:443

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName SERVER_URL
        ProxyPreserveHost On
        ProxyPass / https://1.2.3.4/
        ProxyPassReverse / https://1.2.3.4/
<Location />
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
