ProxyRequests Off ProxyPreserveHost On <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> ProxyPass /geoserver "http://localhost:8080/geoserver" ProxyPassReverse /geoserver "http://localhost:8080/geoserver"

Well after a lot of research and try lot of things, I understood where I have to put this lines, to set up ProxyPass for GeoServer public data access:

ProxyRequests Off 
ProxyPreserveHost On 
<Proxy *>
        Order deny,allow 
        Allow from all
</Proxy> 
ProxyPass /geoserver "http://localhost:8080/geoserver" 
ProxyPassReverse /geoserver "http://localhost:8080/geoserver"

In almost every tutorial that I read, they all explain how to access via internet to GeoServer, using httpd sever, where you have to add the lines of ProxyPass in the archive httpd.conf, in the route:

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

But since I'm using apache2 server instead of the httpd server, the code to use ProxyPass must be put in in the file 000-default.conf and the route is:

/etc/apache2/sites-avaible/000-default.conf

The code have to be between the labels:

<VirtualHost *:80>
         "some code and comments"
         ProxyRequests Off
         ProxyPreserveHost On
         <Proxy *>
              Order deny,allow
              Allow from all
         </Proxy>
         ProxyPass /geoserver "http://localhost:8080/geoserver"
         ProxyPassReverse /geoserver "http://localhost:8080/geoserver"
</VirtualHost>

Hope this helps.

Any errors you see from me feel free to comment.

Greetings to all.
