apache proxy module gives 403 forbidden error
- by naiquevin
I am trying to use the apache's proxy module for working with xmpp on ubuntu desktop. For this i did the following things -
1) enabled mod_proxy by creating a symlink of proxy.conf, proxy.load and proxy_http.load from /etc/apache2/mods-available/ in the mods-enabled directory.
2) Added the following lines to the vhost
<Proxy http://mydomain.com/httpbind>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /httpbind http://mydomain.com:7070/http-bind/
ProxyPassReverse /httpbind http://mydomain.com:7070/http-bind/
I am new to using the proxy module but what i can make from the above lines is that requests to http://mydomain.com/httpbind will be forwarded to http://mydomain.com:7070/http-bind/. Kindly correct if wrong.
3) added rule Allow from .mydomain.com in /mods-available/proxy.conf
Now i try to access http://mydomain.com/httpbind and it shows 403 Forbidden error..
What am i missing here ? Please help. thanks
Edit : The problem got solved when i changed the following code in mods_available/proxy.conf
<Proxy *>
AddDefaultCharset off
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from mydomain.com
</Proxy>
to
<Proxy *>
AddDefaultCharset off
Order deny,allow
#Deny from all
Allow from all
</Proxy>
Didnt get what was wrong with the initial code though
