'''Virtual Host desactivation'''

−
 
 
−
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 
−
a2ensite  myServer
 
−
</syntaxhighlight>
 
−
 
 
−
Then, restart your web server

=HTTPS (SSL) Virtual host=
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
==Create SSL certificate==
 
−
 
 
−
First of all, you need to create a server certificate.
 
−
Cf. SSL dedicated document → Create a new server certificate
 
−
 
 
−
>> see [[SSL server]]
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
==Enable SSL module==
 
−
 
 
−
You have to either copy or create symlinks for server certificate.
 
−
 
 
−
To avoid rights collision I'm using a ''copy'' operation. However I know from past experience that ''symLinks'' work very well if you set the correct rights.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
-Note-
 
−
 
 
−
You MUST use the NON-ENCRYPTED private key if you want to start Apache2 automatically on each reboot.

−
 
 
−
 
 
−
'''Copy certificates'''
 
−
 
 
−
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 
−
cp /srv/ssl/certs/myServer.cert.pem /etc/apache2/webServer.pem
 
−
cp /srv/ssl/private/myServer.nopass.key /etc/apache2/webServer.key
 
−
</syntaxhighlight>
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−

Alternative: '''Symlinks to /srv/ssl/'''
 
−
 
 
−
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 
−
ln -s /srv/ssl/certs/myServer.cert.pem /etc/apache2/webServer.pem

−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
Create a default "/var/www/myServer-ssl/index.html" to check your virtual host.
 
−
 
 
−
If you'd like you can use this ultra-simple file [http://daxiongmao.eu/wiki_upload_files/apache2/index.html]
 
−

=Redirections=
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
==Principle==
 
−
 
 
−
Just a little reminder...
 
−
 
 
−
[[File:Apache2_mod_rewrite.png|none|Apache2 mod_rewrite principle]]
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
* Redirections are '''not transparent'''
 
−
* Redirections are '''performed by the client'''. The server only serves the new URL to use
 
−
* Redirections can also be used as a security tool to filter HTTP requests and only allow some of them.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
As you can see on the previous picture, redirection can be declared:
 
−
* As Apache 2 module configuration. This will apply to all virtual hosts and web-sites
 
−
* In a Virtual Host configuration
 
−
** Default setting - ex: HTTP to HTTPS
 
−
** For a specific alias |or| directory
 
−
* In a web page
 
−
* In a .htaccess to protect a specific directory
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
==Enable redirections==
 
−
 
 
−
Module "rewrite" allows you to redirect source URL to another one.

==Virtual host: redirect all HTTP to HTTPS==
 
−
 
−
The safer way to redirect HTTP to HTTPS is use to adjust the virtual host configuration.

'''Take changes into account'''

==Virtual host: Alias redirection==
 
−
 
−
The following example will redirect a "/phpsecinfo" from HTTP to HTTPS.
 
−
 
−
 
−
Edit your virtual-host configuration and use that example to redirect to another server too by adjusting the rewrite rule.

Special thanks to Julien Rialland for his insight regarding this part!

==Principle==
 
−
 
−
The proxy module allow you to expose a resource that is not directly accessible.
 
−
 
−
For instance it can redirect remote user to a specific server that can be host on a different machine or port through a simple URL.
 
−
 
−
 
−
 
−
===Proxy VS redirection===
 
−
 
−
{| class="wikitable"
 
−
|-
 
−
! Header text !! Proxy !! Redirection
 
−
|-
 
−
| Main usage ||
 
−
* Expose a resource that is not directly accessible
 
−
* Provide a nicer URL through standard HTTP port instead of http://server:port/service
 
−
|| Signal a change or redirect to the HTTPS web-site
 
−
|-
 
−
| Action
 
−
|| '''Hidden''' to the user.
 
−
* From user point of view this is just a standard URL / service
 
−
* It's the ''server'' that performs the proxy actin
 
−
|| '''Explicit'''
 
−
* The server just serve the new URL
 
−
* It's the ''client'' that will create a new connection - See [[Apache_2#Principle]]
 
−
|}
 
−
 
−
 
−
 
−
===Internet limits: why do we need a proxy?===
 
−
 
−
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]]
 
−
 
−
 
−
 
−
===How does Apache2 mod_proxy work?===
 
−
 
−
The Apache2 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 previous example, the 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 in the original service configuration. Apache2 will handle all the transformations.
 
−
 
−
 
−
 
−
===Proxy / redirect / rewrite - HTTP request processing===
 
−
 
−
When Apache2 receive a request it will be process in the following order:
 
−
 
−
[[File:Apache2 proxy rewrite.png|none|Proxy rewrite]]
 
−
 
−
 
−
The evaluation order is:
 
−
# Mod_proxy
 
−
# Mod_rewrite
 
−
# Other modules
 
−
# Serve requested resources if no rule should apply
 
−
 
−
 
−
So, even if you enable a full redirection to HTTPS you can still use some HTTP service through mod_proxy (because mod_proxy is the 1st to be evaluate).

−
==Installation==
 
−
 
−
 
−
==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">
 
−
vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/myServer.conf
 
−
</syntaxhighlight>
 
−
 
−
 
−
===V.Host proxy declaration===
 
−
 
−
Adjust your V.Host configuration to:
 
−
 
−
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 
−
<VirtualHost *:80>
 
−
ServerName dev.daxiongmao.eu
 
−
ServerAlias www.dev.daxiongmao.eu *.dev.daxiongmao.eu
 
−
ServerAdmin guillaume@qin-diaz.com
 
−
 
−

−
        ### Redirect all traffic to HTTPS website
 
−
        RewriteEngine On
 
−
        RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off       
 
−
        RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
 
−
redirect permanent / https://myServer/

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 lang="bash">
 
−
vim /etc/apache2/conf.d/deflate.conf

−
Add the following lines:
 
−
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">

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.
