Apache as a reverse proxy

Using mod_proxy

You'll find here the default configuration to proxify Abecms through apache 2.*. First you need to activate 2 modules proxy_module and proxy_http_module in Apache config file. If you want to use https you need one more module proxy_connect_module.

See Apache Proxy Documentation to go further.

Then you can configure your vhost for your Abecms.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName	server.example.com
    DocumentRoot	/path/to/your/abe/root/site
    ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
    ErrorDocument 503 /apache_503.html
    ProxyPreserveHost	On
    AllowEncodedSlashes	On
    ProxyRequests	Off
    ProxyPassMatch ^/abe(.*) http://localhost:3000/abe$1 nocanon retry=0
    <Proxy *>
        Options +Includes
        AddDefaultCharset off
    </Proxy>
</VirtualHost>

ProxyPreserveHost

You should turn On this directive in case of multiple Abecms on the same server. This directive will pass the Host: header to the proxied host instead of the hostname specified in the ProxyPass line.

ErrorDocument

We customized the 404 and 503 - Service Unavailable - error pages with 2 directives, ErrorDocument 404 /404.html and ErrorDocument 503 /apache_503.html.
If a page is not found on your Abecms site, you can now have your own 404 page.
If your abecms process is down Apache will return a 503 error. You can also customize the 503 page.

In this configuration these pages have to be in your DocumentRoot /path/to/your/abe/root/site. You can customize this location.

Using mod_rewrite

There is another way to do so and it's not the Darsk Side way 😄.

With apache rewrite_module activated you can put an .htaccess file in the site directory.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^abe(.*) http://localhost:3000/abe$1 [P,L]

You're all set

With those configurations you can reach your static site at http://server.example.com and your Abecms at http://server.example.com/abe/editor.
