HFS Behind Apache

HFS Behind Apache · **on:** September 22, 2009, 06:02:22 AM

HFS Running on on Windows XP Storage Server on local net (let's say 192.168.0.2:8001). Apache2 running on Ubuntu 9.04 Web Server on local net (192.168.0.3). I want to mount the entire HFS server at http://192.168.0.3/hfs and I totally can't figure it out. Help please!

Sorry, put my real name this time

Some more info...

I can get it so the HFS Home page shows up via Reverse Proxy. However there are no images or formatting. Also the links don't really work. Am I going to have to go into the template to adjust the link hrefs and img srces?

Also, I tried Apache's RewriteRule (as opposed to ProxyPass) but the proxy requests were refused by the Windows HFS machine.

Hi Ben,
I don't know if you have allready solved your problem. I had neary the same and here's how I've got through:
Just create an empty folder under your 'Document_root', let's say HFS. Then put in it the .htaccess file with the statements in the attached file.
Notes:
* Only lines 1,8,9 are required. Other lines are to avoid redirecting these folders if found under Document_root.
* In my case, I'm not changing the Server's IP adress, so I this will work for you. I think that it depend on your rooter.
When I tried this way, it was ok in my LAN, but not from the outside.
* Another way to test is VirtualHost (see Apache Document about this).

Good luck
Horacio.
