How to Setup a Apache Reverse Proxy Server for Linux

Edits to Server Config File


# /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>		
   ServerName   myserver.com
#
#  other config 
#
	 
   <Location /proxy/>
      ProxyPass          "http://legallandconverter.com/cgi-bin/"
      ProxyPassReverse   "http://legallandconverter.com/cgi-bin/"
   </Location>

</VirtualHost>

Enable Apache Proxy Modules and Restart Apache

   sudo a2enmod proxy
   sudo a2enmod proxy_http

   sudo systemctl restart apache2

Test Proxy

http://myserver.com/proxy/htmlhello.cgi?bob=uncle

If all is working, a page from the legallandconverter.com webserver will come up that displays the cgi variable 'bob' and it's value 'uncle'.

Test Proxy on android5c.cgi API

http://myserver.com/proxy/android5c.cgi?username=DEVELOPX&password=TEST1234&quarter=SW&section=24&township=12&range=20&meridian=W4&cmd=legal

If you have an account, change 'username' and 'password' to your own.

The DEVELOPX guest account in the example above is usually out of credits, but it will still return valid parseable results that says you are out of credits.
