Reverse Proxy Setup with XAMPP/WAMP

reverse_proxy_setup.txt

Open apache httpd.conf file
Enable the following Modules by removing the # at the front of the line.
 - LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
 - LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
 - LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
 - LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so
 
Open apache httpd-vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
	ProxyRequests On
	<Proxy>
		Order deny,allow
		Allow from all
	</Proxy>
	ProxyPass /api/ http://www.server.com/api/
	ProxyPassReverse /api/ http://www.server.com/api/
	Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
</VirtualHost>

## /api/ == http://localhost/api/
## if you access http://localhost/api/ it should access http://www.server.com/api/


Restart Apache.

Thanks so much i realised i had every module commented on wamp

Same here, was looking for this for about an hour over the web, and finally this helped me, thx!

Thank you buddy, this is very useful!

This worked perfectly

Random note:
If you're working with an ASP.Net/Core app, make sure to comment the call to app.UseHttpsRedirection(); on Startup.cs and to add webBuilder.UserUrls("http://*:5000"); on Program.cs
For some reason there's an issue proxying from an ASP app to the 443 port (or whichever HTTPS port apache uses), thus is easier to stick to http only at least for testing.

Thank you so much. Works on my local machine using XAMPP

thanks work fine

Didnt work

Awesome!! This worked great for me. I've been banging my head against the wall for 2 days on this! Thanks for the support!
