Apache Tips

Some of my Apache works

1)fix for apache error 'Starting httpd: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using sso.linux.com for ServerName'

add below properties in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file


ServerName localhost

2)Disable default html index file
  

comment out all the lines in /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf


3) Directory Listening using virtual host and alias  example




NameVirtualHost *:808

Alias /logs  "/test"

<VirtualHost *:808>

<Directory /test>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


4)Apache Reverse proxy Configuration example
 <VirtualHost *:8446>
  SSLEngine On
  SSLCertificateFile /home/apache/ssl_certs/server.crt
  SSLCertificateKeyFile /home/apache/ssl_certs/server.key
  ProxyPass    /app01/    http://10.0.1.1:808/logs/
  ProxyPassReverse     /app01/    http://10.0.1.1:808/logs/
  ProxyPass    /app02/    http://10.0.1.2:808/logs/
  ProxyPassReverse     /app02/    http://10.0.1.2:808/logs/
</VirtualHost>

5) Apache 2.4 virtual host directory sharing config for ansible
 
http://localhost:81/opt/repo  should work fine for file sharing  

 Listen 81
<VirtualHost *:81>
DocumentRoot "/"
<Directory "/opt/repo">
    Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymlinks
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory "/foo">
    Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymlinks
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
