Apache reverse proxy to GBPVR Web Admin

[David]

I'll admit that I am not an Apache guru, but I've been playing around with reverse proxy to various resources on my network. My attempts to connect to the GBPVR Web Admin have not been successful. I usually get a 502 bad gateway error. I am using the web server built into GBPVR, but could move to IIS if that would help. The Apache server is on a Linux (Fedora) box. I am not eager to compile and install version 2.2.

Any suggestions for getting it to work?

Sorry, not from me.

It should work in theory, but I've not tried it, so I'm not aware of what issues you'll encounter.

Hey David,

Forget about trying to do it on an IIS server as you will do nothing else but pull your hair out. Since you are already using Apache you can look here as Superdad has posted his resolutions to running the Enhanced Web Admin Wiki Instructions or you can also look at the postings here on the
forums


This was the latest conversation on the formns regarding Apache but there were a number of others previously by Superdad Good luck

I could be wrong, but I understood that Superdad's instructions were for running the Web Admin under Apache on the same Windows box that is running GBPVR.

I have a Linux box with Apache that I am using reverse proxy to bring all my web apps under one domain name and avoiding extra open ports (as well as remembering those ports when typing URL's).

To be honest I didn't get to deep into Superdads posting as I do not run Apache since I have a seperate XP box which I use as an FTP/IIS server and I was trying to avoid running a web server on my HTPC (including the use of the internal web server you can set in the config) however, I thought that I read his posting as having another computer running Apache which he copied over the web folder too only after he had set it up on the GBPVR.

Got this working.

RewriteEngine On

<Directory "/htdocs">
--cut--
RewriteRule ^gbpvr/(.*) http://10.0.0.18:8080/gbpvr/$1 [P]
</Directory>

In this case gb-pvr runs on 10.0.0.18 (internal) on port 8080 (not the default one, this is set in gb-pvr config)

I connect to https://EXTERNAL.domain.com/gbpvr/Login.aspx

I must be on my way to becoming an Apache guru. I had not used the rewriterule before, but I can now successfully reproduce the "502 Bad Gateware" error. Plus, I can produce a "404 file not found" error at will. :eek:

The 502 error includes the following text:
"The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server."

I've tried adding several additional configuration commands, including "ProxyBadHeader Ignore". Still no dice.

I can browse to the web admin from the Linux box just fine, so no network issues that I can see. I am also successfully using ProxyPass to connect to one other application on a non-standard port.

Old thread, but here's my status.

I added this to my httpd.conf on my Gentoo file/web server:

ProxyPass /gbpvr/ http://soundgarden:7777/
ProxyHTMLURLMap http://soundgarden:7777 /gbpvr

<Location /gbpvr/>
ProxyPassReverse /
SetOutputFilter proxy-html
ProxyHTMLURLMap / /gbpvr/
ProxyHTMLURLMap /gbpvr /gbpvr
RequestHeader unset Accept-Encoding
</Location>

where "soundgarden:7777" is the name of the machine running GBPVR (that the Linux machine can resolve the hostname on) and the port it's running on. I can seem to browse the admin guide just fine and download the complete recording files, but the m3u streaming files still point to "soundgarden:7777" which, obviously, will not work outside my internal network. Any ideas on "fixing" these to make 'em work? I noticed a "streaming port" option in the config that was set to something other than what I'm actually using, but even if I open that port externally, the m3u file still won't properly resolve the dns. Help?

Side note, at some point today my web admin interface lost its stylesheet or something, it's coming through as all plaintext and links now, still useable but crude looking. **edit** oops, theme changed itself somehow... changed it back...

You might be best to post this question in the web admin thread in the developers section, that way you can be sure UJB will see your question.
