Access Geoserver From Internet Ubuntu Server 14.04.1


i'm triying to getup geoserver on IBM Server with Ubuntu Server 14.04.1, i have try making a file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/geoserver.conf and the information in it was:

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

I access to my server via a subdomain in NO-IP, but a i can't make it work the geoserver, like this; my.subdomain.com/geoserver

A will give any information you need, i really need some help with this.

Thanks.


Solution

  • 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.
