====ProxyPass a alias/directory/location====
This section covers the db settings in the "accounts" database that generate ProxyPass directives in httpd.conf
*I have a domain http://mydomain.com and I would like http://mydomain.com/extra to forward to the internal server. How do I do this using the db account directives ?
You can do what you want by creating a custom template fragment that enables proxypass on ".../extra"; the notes from this forum discussion http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,40075.0.html should help.
The following works on SME 7.5.1 and SME 8beta6 systems where the template fragment /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/35ProxyPass contains the appropriate code which is automatically generated by issuing the following db commands:
db accounts set extra ProxyPass
db accounts setprop extra Target http://192.168.1.35
db accounts setprop extra Description InternalServer
db accounts setprop extra HTTP on
db accounts setprop extra HTTPS on
db accounts setprop extra ValidFrom 80.90.100.0/24,74.125.93.105
expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
sv t httpd-e-smith
Note: In the above commands set xxxx ProxyPass, setprop xxxx Target http://<target> and setprop xxxx Description <description> are required; all other lines are optional
Note: It doesn't look like these directives are going to work for HTTPS connections by default (they end up inside a "Listen 0.0.0.0:80" section in httpd.conf). It appears that 35ProxyPass is old (mentioned in a bug from year 2006), while ProxyPass SSL support was fixed in a later bug (in year 2007), by which time the ProxyPass code had been moved to the virtual domains templates.
Note: HTTP and HTTPS are set to yes by default, so there is no need to set it. Apart from that it is preferred to use no when you want it to be disabled, over on/off or enabled/disabled.
