[Abandoned] Lighttpd as reverse proxy
Added by Leer0r over 3 years ago
Hi,
I want to use lighttpd as a basic reverse proxy : My server is host on my port 8082 in localhost, and all my user are quering the 8081 port.
So my wish is to redirect queries like :
GET 192.168.x.x:8081 --> localhost:8082 --> 192.168.x.x:8081
The user recieve content served by my server, but the url doen't not change (still 192.168.x.x:8081)
I add on my conf file the following instruction :
$SERVER["socket"] == ":8081" {
proxy.server = (
"" => (
"api:redirect" => (
"host" => "127.0.0.1",
"port" => "8082"
)
)
)
}
I also add proxy.debug = 3
but when I do a query, nothing work and the server never reply...
In my error.log, the proxy mod print only this : (/tmp/source/lighttpd-1.4.53/src/gw_backend.c.993) proc: tcp:127.0.0.1:8082 0 0 0 0
What did i do wrong ?
Thanks in advance

It sounds like you haven't read through the lighttpd documentation for mod_proxy.
