Quick Setup For Apache2 ProxyPass
Tuesday, June 25, 2013
I used mod_proxy to point a subdomain to a specific port on a machine.

Configure the site

Example VirtualHost in /etc/apache2/sites-available: 
<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot "/opt/dir/"
  ServerName my.server.name
  ServerAdmin support@mycompany.com
  ProxyRequests On
  ProxyPreserveHost On
  ProxyVia full

  <Proxy>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
  </Proxy>

  ProxyPass        /  http://localhost:3000/
  ProxyPassReverse /  http://localhost:3000/
</VirtualHost>
You have to enable the site by linking/copying it from /etc/apache2/sites-available to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled or by using a2ensite (site).
Now, restart apache2 by doing /etc/init.d/apache2 restart or service apache2 restart.

It doesn't work!

If you get this error and have apt: [warn] proxy: No protocol handler was valid for the URL /. If you are using a DSO version of mod_proxy, make sure the proxy submodules are included in the configuration using LoadModule. 
apt-get install libapache2-mod-proxy-html
a2emnod proxy
a2enmod proxy_html
a2enmod proxy_http
/etc/init.d/apache restart
Also a2enmod any other protocols you might use. If you do not have a2enmod (Debian/Ubuntu), you can manually enable the modules by linking/copying them (*.load/*.conf) from /etc/apache2/mods-available to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled.

ERROR: Module proxy_html does not exist!

Run apt-get install libapache2-mod-proxy-html

To get a2ensite and a2enmod:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall apache2 apache2-common
