I have a CentOS VPS which is serving HTTP requests via Apache and delivers a HTML site. I am also hosting a Ghost blog on the same VPS, which listens on port 2368. Therefore the main site can be accessed via www.domain.co.uk and the Ghost blog via www.domain.co.uk:2368/blog.
I have configured a Reverse Proxy via Apache so that the port can be hidden from the user, i.e. www.domain.co.uk/blog proxies to www.domain.co.uk:2368/blog.
Is it possible for me to 'hide' the original blog URL so that a user never sees the 2368 port? Therefore, if a user ever accesses www.domain.co.uk:2368/blog this will actually 'redirect' to www.domain.co.uk/blog.
I guess something like a proxy from www.domain.co.uk:2368/blog -> www.domain.co.uk/blog; though this would have to be handled by the node application as it listens on that port?
Virtual Host configuration is as such:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain.co.uk
ServerAlias domain.co.uk
DocumentRoot /var/www/domain.co.uk/public_html
ErrorLog /var/www/domain.co.uk/error.log
CustomLog /var/www/domain.co.uk/requests.log combined
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass /blog http://127.0.0.1:2368/blog
ProxyPassReverse /blog http://127.0.0.1:2368/blog
</VirtualHost>

I setup a local guacamole server for people in my work to access several VM's that we have running in the server. IN order to access guacamole the have to type http://ip:port/guacamole or after the host override I did in my pfsense DNS resolver http://guac.loc:port/guacamole. The problem is that even that some times is problematic for some of them so I want to do something like http://guac.loc so they can remember it easily. I did it for some with the hosta file but I can't different functionallities for some of them. So can anyone help on how to do that? Can I do it somehow from the web server? Or do I need to setup a DNS Server?
If I understand correctly, you want to have "simpler" URL, without port and "guacamole" path.
Guacamole by default runs under Tomcat on port 8080. However, you can put Apache in front of the Tomcat and proxy request to the guacamole. Apache can proxy and forward all requests to the Guacamole on the given port and path.
Something like the example below should work and also will redirect all http requests to the htpts. It is not mandatory to have SSL enabled, you can proxy http as well.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName guac.loc
Redirect permanent / https://guac.loc/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName guac.loc
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/guac-loc.cer
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/guac-loc.key
SSLCACertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/guac-loc-ca.crt
<Location /guacamole/>
ProxyPass http://localhost:8080/guacamole/ flushpackets=on
ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:8080/guacamole/
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

I am trying to redirect http://eamondev.com:3000 to https://omniatm.eamondev.com with a VirtualHost. I am using node to serve a site to http://eamondev.com:3000. I am using vhost with node like this:
app.use(vhost('omniatm.eamondev.com', express.static('/')));
I have never used vhost and it took me a while to figure this out without having to split up all my code like I was working with more than one site (when I am not), so I'm not sure if it is exactly how it should be for an Apache redirect to work.
In my apache conf file I have:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName omniatm.eamondev.com
ProxyPreserveHost on
ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/
</VirtualHost>
I am also using WHM on a VPS, I'm not sure if this is relevant or not, but the ServerName (with protocol, what I type into the browser) needs to be https://omniatm.eamondev.com.
I cannot serve node on port 80 of my server (and then redirect to subdomain) because my main site (http://eamondev.com) is running on port 80.
I have referenced most of the stackoverflow questions about this and nothing has worked. I should mention (although I'm not sure exactly how it is relevant, I just saw it in a stackoverflow question I looked at), my hosting support (bluehost) used WHM to set things up with a wildcard ssl certificate to make the omniatm.eamondev.com subdomain https.
How do I redirect http://eamondev.com:3000 to https://omniatm.eamondev.com using apache (or vhost)?
Proxy passing as given in the question will not do any redirects instead it will retain the URL as such and proxy the content from elsewhere. In Apache configuration, we have an option to do redirects, in the bellow sample, we are checking for the host and based on it issuing an redirect to the desired URL
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName omniatm.eamondev.com
Redirect / https://omniatm.eamondev.com
<If "%{HTTP_HOST} != 'eamondev.com:3000'">
Redirect "^/?(.*)" "https://omniatm.eamondev.com/$1"
</If>
</VirtualHost>
An Apache web server for the domain “www.abc.lk” is configured and hosted in a hosting server with the IP address 192.168.2.105. Another domain called “www.def.lk” should also be configured with the same content without any duplication. Explain the configuration of the Apache server with name-based virtual hosting for the above requirement?
You have to configure two virtual host with same DocumentRoot but different ServerNames
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html
# Ensure that Apache listens on port 80
Listen 80
# Listen for virtual host requests on all IP addresses
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /www/example1
ServerName www.abc.com
# Other directives here
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /www/example1
ServerName www.123.com
# Other directives here
</VirtualHost>
Why don't you just use www.abc.lk as ServerName and www.def.lk as ServerAlias in your vhost configuration ?
And of course be sure that both DNS point to the server.
Here is what I use (I think this link lays out all of the solutions or possibilities):
https://realtechtalk.com/Apache_Vhost_HowTo_Serve_Same_Content_using_a_different_domain_and_IP-1730-articles
Here is another way of doing it that is more simple than symlinking or duplicating content between vhosts:
This would be in your vhost.conf
ServerName differentdomain.com
ServerAlias www.differentdomain.com
ProxyPass / http://yourmainsite.com/
ProxyPassReverse / http://yourmainsite.com/
My question is probably trivial and a duplicate, but either I cannot formulate it or it's not been answered on SO yet.
I have two webservers on a Digital Ocean droplet. One is listening on port 80 and can be accessed via example.com (DNS are on route 53), and the other is on port 8080: how can I make it accessible from example-2.com?
I suppose the software I'm looking for would intercept the HTTP requests, check the referrer, and route those coming from example.com to port 80 and those coming from example-2.com to port 8080. What is it?
This can not be done using only DNS. By default web browsers attempt to connect to port 80 when the url starts with "http" without specifying a port. The user would have to know to connect to port 8080 and explicitly access the URL as
http://example-2.com:8080
I am assuming you are running both web server instances on the same OS environment/IP address, though this would also work for separate hosting environments. What you probably want is a reverse web proxy which can inspect the requested domain name and route to an appropriate server instance. You would run the reverse web proxy on port 80, and probably move the server you are currently running on port 80 to another port (say, 8081).
Apache with mod_proxy and the virtual hosting settings is a possible solution. Assuming example.com and example-2.com point to the Apache instance configure it something like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#example.com
ProxyRequests off
ProxyPreserveHost on
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8081/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8081/
<Proxy *>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Proxy>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example-2.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#example-2.com
ProxyRequests off
ProxyPreserveHost on
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/
<Proxy *>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Proxy>
</VirtualHost>
I currently have a website running under apache on my VPS, but i'm planning to run another website with NodeJS.
Since apache runs on port 80 and NodeJS on port 3000 i was wondering how i could manage that when someone type the domain name domain.com, it binds to the port 3000 ?
Also, is it possible that after the redirect on the browser it shows only http://domain.com and not http://domain.com:3000 ?
Use ProxyPass:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain.com
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass / http://domain.com:3000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://domain.com:3000/
</VirtualHost>
