Help with Apache Reverse Proxy vhost

English Network/Internet
1

I have looked everywhere and have tried plenty but cannot get this right. PLEASE HELP!

  • I have a dotnet core2 kestral api application that listens on localhost:5000
  • I allow people to use api via apache on serverIP:17169
  • Im using SLES 12 with latest updates etc.

I have this setup on CentOS, and it was easy - VERY easy.

I had all the reverse proxy info in the vhost.conf and it all worked:
config was


<VirtualHost *:17169>
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:5000/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:5000/
    DocumentRoot "/path/to/doc/root"
    ServerName "server1"
    ServerAlias "server1"
</VirtualHost>

I understand that SUSE does things differently, where it splits up most things into .conf.
I have enabled mod_proxy but when I run
httpd -M
I dont see the module listed

Please can someone walk me through how I would set this up. My current vhost definition is


<VirtualHost *:17169>
    DocumentRoot "{{ document_root }}/{{ website_2 }}"
    ServerName "{{ website_2 }}"
    ServerAlias "{{ website_2 }}"
    ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
    <IfModule mod_proxy.c>
    ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:5000/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:5000/
    </IfModule>    
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/{{ website_2 }}/error_log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/{{ website_2 }}/access_log vhost_combined
    <Directory "/path/to/doc/root">
    Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I have another :80 vhost website on the same server and its working.

httpd -t says my syntax is OK

I get the just of the differences with apache2 on SUSE but cannot get this right…

Please please help

Only openSUSE are discussed here because of differences.
