Lighttpd proxy redirect by port

view story
linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I'm really just starting out with lighttpd and I'm not sure how to configure this exactly. I'm wanting to take traffic and redirect to another server say "http://localhost/url_a/" and redirect the request and responses from that to "http://other_server:8080/" Another example would be "http://localhost/url_a/" going to "http://other_server:8081/url_b/" What exactly should I look into for accomplishing this? Thanks. (HowTos)

Stories similar to Lighttpd proxy redirect by port

I am running lighttpd 1.4.31 with ssl support and am having an issue with forcing https on a specific virtualhost. If I disable the redirect line from the following config, it works as expect (http and https both working, but no redirection), but when I enable it, I find the browser gets cause in a loop of 301s.

I have a server with multiple domains. Both http (apache) traffic and http-alt (tomcat) traffic.

If/when I take the server down, I'd like to be able to redirect people to a temporary 'undergoing maintenance' page, regardless of their destination URL/port.

How can this be achieved?

Lighttpd domain redirection 34 weeks 6 days ago

I would like to redirect domains on HTTP/HTTPS:

http://old.com -> https://new.com https://old.com -> https://new.com

I have to specify the SSL key/certificate for the old domain but I'm not sure where I have to place these directives:

$SERVER["socket"] == ":443" { ssl.engine = "enable" ssl.pemfile = "/etc/pki/tls/private/new.com.pem" ssl.ca-file = "/etc/pki/tls/certs/new.com.crt" }

Apache 2 proxy for Tomcat 7 31 weeks 4 days ago

Following the how-to, I wanted to make a proxy for traffic to the address /app to be processed by Tomcat 7.

I want redirect all traffic to example.com/* to be redirected to www.example.com/*

I found How can I redirect any ServerAlias to the respective ServerName?

I had a lighttpd server which works normally. I can access this website from outside(non-localhost) via http://vm.aaa.com:8080. Let's just assume that it's a simple static website, without php or mysql.

Now I want to copy this website as a test one(using another port) in the same machine. And I do not want to use virtual host.

I have a web server running on port 8080. I'd like to visit it via port 80, so I did this:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080

it works if i access the server from other machines using

http://ipoftheserver/

but it doesn't work if I access the server from the same machine using

http://localhost/

why is that?

thanks in advance.

i have this iptables and working.

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 0:20 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080 #bypass SSH iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 23:442 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080 #bypass SSL iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 444:2082 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080 #Cpanel SSL iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 2084:2086 -j RE

I'm trying to redirect all HTTP/HTTPS trafic from one server to another (via IP).

I do use the ufw firewall. How can I configure it do to so?
