Setup: 2 Webservers pointed to 127.0.0.1:8080 and :8081. Curl validates they work as expected. Apache with the following virt hosts:
NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.1:80
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.1:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8080/
ServerName 192.168.1.1
ServerAlias http://192.168.1.1
</VirtualHost>
NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.2:80
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.2:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8081/
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8081/
ServerName 192.168.1.2
ServerAlias http://192.168.1.2
</VirtualHost>
On the server I can curl to the virtualhosts and receive appropriate responses. (curl 192.168.1.1 gives me the webservers response from localhost:8080, etc)
remote hosts cannot however connect to 192.168.1.1 or .2 at all. What am I missing?
Re: comments
Yes, the default directory Directive is still in place.
# Deny access to root file system
<Directory />
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order Deny,Allow
deny from all
</Directory>
No apache logs are generated when trying to reach 192.168.1.1 remotely. They do get generated when curl from local.
If I point the webservers to *:8080 and *:8081 instead of binding to localhost, I can access them from a remote host via 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 if i specify the 8080 and 8081 ports (both ports work on both IP's, which is what I'm trying to avoid with apache reverse proxy bind to 80 on each interface)
Edit2:
curl verbose output: (similar for second webserver, and for 127.0.0.1:portnum)
[user@host mingle_12_2_1]$ curl -v 192.168.1.1
* About to connect() to 192.168.1.1 port 80
