=Apache 2 # redirections using mod_proxy=
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
Thanks to Julien Rialland for his insight regarding this part!
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
==Principle==
 
−
 
 
−
The proxy module allow you to redirect remote user to a specific server that can be host on a different machine or port through a clear URL.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
===Current limits===
 
−
 
 
−
Some application are not available from outside…
 
−
 
 
−
* For security reasons [default URL is not allowed]
 
−
 
 
−
[[File:Apache2 proxy security limit.png|none|Proxy for security]]
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
* Due to network issues
 
−
 
 
−
[[File:Apache2 proxy network issues.png|none|Proxy to improve network]]
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
===Proxy module role===
 
−
 
 
−
The proxy module allow you to provide access through transparent redirection.
 
−
 
 
−
It relies on:
 
−
* Already open port (80 or 443)
 
−
* Redirection rule
 
−
* Each service URL must be unique
 
−
* The target service must be reachable by the web server
 
−
 
 
−
[[File:Apache2 proxy role.png|none|Proxy role]]
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
As you can see on the following example, the previous services will be accessible using some dedicated URL.
 
−
Remote “http://myServer/myService” will redirect to “http://localhost:8081”
 
−
 
 
−
→ The ''mod_proxy'' is none intrusive.
 
−
You don’t have to change anything is the orginal service configuration. Apache2 will handle all the transformations.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
==Proxy / redirect / rewrite==
 
−
 
 
−
When Apache2 receive a request it will be process in the following order:
 
−
 
 
−
[[File:Apache2 proxy rewrite.png|none|Proxy rewrite]]
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
So, even if you enable a full redirection to HTTPS you can still use some HTTP service through mod_proxy.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
==Enable proxy module==
 
−
 
 
−
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 
−
a2enmod proxy proxy_http proxy_ajp
 
−
</syntaxhighlight>
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
==Configure proxy redirections==
 
−
 
 
−
You can configure the redirections in 2 ways:
 
−
* Through your virtual host configuration
 
−
* Through the module configuration file
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
===Module configuration file===
 
−
 
 
−
You have to edit / create the configuration file.
 
−
 
 
−
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 
−
vim /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/proxy.conf
 
−
</syntaxhighlight>
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
===Virtual host===
 
−
 
 
−
Just edit again your previous V.Host:
 
−
 
 
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
−
vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/myServer.conf
+
vim /var/www/html/phpinfo.php
 
</syntaxhighlight>
 
</syntaxhighlight>
−
 
−
 
−
===Proxy declaration===
 
−
 
−
Adjust the file to:
 
−
 
−
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 
−
<VirtualHost *:80>
 
−
...

==Mod deflate: improved the bandwidth==
 
−
 
 
−
To improve the bandwidth, you can compress pages and type of content.
 
−
 
 
−
=> You can improved your bandwidth from 20 to 30%.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
To do so, you need a specific module for Apache: mod_deflate
 
−
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 
−
a2enmod deflate
 
−
touch /var/log/apache2/deflate.log
 
−
chown www-data:www-data /var/log/apache2/deflate.log
 
−
chmod 740 /var/log/apache2/deflate.log
 
−
</syntaxhighlight>
 
−
 
 
−
Edit your web server configuration file:
 
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">

Add the following lines:

==Mod expires: use the cache of your clients==
 
−
Another way to improve performances and bandwidth: use the client's cache.
 
−
 
 
−
To do so, you need a specific module for Apache: mod_expires
 
−
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">

a2enmod expires

Edit your web server configuration file:

Requirements

Before going through this tutorial, I recommend you to setup:



Installation

Apache 2

This will install web server + PHP + Perl + all required libraries.

Apache2 core

apt install apache2 apache2-utils 
apt install ssl-cert

Since Ubuntu 16.04 apache2-mpm-prefork is not required

Doc

apt install apache2-doc


Perl

apt-get install libapache2-mod-perl2 libapache2-mod-perl2-doc


SNMP

Sometimes you might encounter some SNMP errors on latest Debian based distributions.

In that case you have to install a new package and run it. 

apt-get install snmp-mibs-downloader
download-mibs


source: http://www.podciborski.co.uk/miscellaneous/snmp-cannot-find-module/


PHP 8

2021-11: PHP 8 is not included in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

Source article: http://www.daxiongmao.eu/wiki/index.php?title=Apache_2&action=edit

Add PHP 8.0 repository

apt install software-properties-common
add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
apt update

Install core packages

To install the latest version of PHP: 

# PHP core
apt-get install php
apt-get install php-cli
# Apache2 support
apt install libapache2-mod-php


Modules PHP

apt-get install php-cgi 
#apt-get install php-opcache
apt-get install php-gd 
apt-get install php-bz2 
apt-get install php-curl 
apt-get install php-xmlrpc
apt-get install php-json 
apt-get install php-mysql 
apt-get install php-imap 
apt-get install php-mbstring
# Performances
apt install php-fpm libapache2-mod-fcgid

Enable modules 

sudo a2enmod proxy_fcgi setenvif
sudo a2enconf php8.0-fpm

Utility

apt install php-pear

Configuration

Edit PHP config file: 

vim /etc/php/8.0/cli/php.ini
  • Let CGI behaves like before: set cgi.fix_pathinfo=1
  • Adjust file upload size upload_max_filesize = 32M
  • Adjust post size post_max_size = 32M
  • Adjust time zone date.timezone = Europe/Paris
  • Save path: session.save_path = "/tmp"

Check PHP version and configuration

To ensure PHP 8.0 is well-installed just type: 

php -v


Image Magick

apt install php-gd php-imagick imagemagick

Configuration

Edit PHP config file: 

vim /etc/php/8.0/apache2/php.ini

Add / uncomment the following lines in Dynamic extensions area 

// PHP 8  (~ line 904)
extension=bz2
extension=curl
extension=gd
extension=imap
extension=mysqli


!! Note this is NOT required on Ubuntu 20.04 because these modules are enabled by default !!

Firewall

see Firewall INPUT filters#Web server

Restart the firewall 

/etc/init.d/firewall restart


Test your installation

Restart the Apache2 server 

service apache2 restart


Create a simple PHP script 

vim /var/www/html/phpinfo.php

Put the following: 

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Adjust rights 

chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/phpinfo.php
chmod 755 /var/www/html/phpinfo.php


You can now test your installation by going to 'http://localhost/phpinfo.php' or 'http://myServer/phpinfo.php'. You should see the default page.
