I learned how to configure a reverse proxy and do some rewrites to get plex working across the world, but the method for pointing to subdomains aren’t working as expected.

My newly installed R710 has a few friends interested in web services, and I’ve gotten requests for hosting Owncloud and Wordpress.

I’ve cnamed the domains on Cloudflare, but when I added the virtualhost with the subdomain, the top/main domain answers instead.

Here’s my config:

<VirtualHost 10.0.0.10:80>
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://10.0.0.10:80/
ProxyPassReverse / http://10.0.0.10:80/
ServerName example.com

<VirtualHost 10.0.0.11:80>
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://10.0.0.11:80/
ProxyPassReverse / http://10.0.0.11:80/
ServerName wordpress.example.com

<VirtualHost 10.0.0.12:80>
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://10.0.0.12:80/
ProxyPassReverse / http://10.0.0.12:80/
ServerName owncloud.example.com

Get rid of the IP addresses in the VirtualHost tag.

They should all look like this:

VirtualHost *:80
(withe brackets around them, I can’t see to post the brackets from my phone)

Used the wrong example file, I’ve already set all 4 servers as <virtualhost *:80>

This is a hunch, by try having the subdomains listed FIRST in the config file like below:

<VirtualHost *:80> 
ProxyPreserveHost On 
ProxyPass / http://10.0.0.11:80/ 
ProxyPassReverse / http://10.0.0.11:80/ 
ServerName wordpress.example.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80> 
ProxyPreserveHost On 
ProxyPass / http://10.0.0.12:80/ 
ProxyPassReverse / http://10.0.0.12:80/ 
ServerName owncloud.example.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80> 
ProxyPreserveHost On 
ProxyPass / http://10.0.0.10:80/ 
ProxyPassReverse / http://10.0.0.10:80/ 
ServerName example.com
</VirtualHost>

Restart Apache and see if that works…

For now, I dropped owncloud and moved to Nextcloud on port 8443.

Half of my issue was that port 443 was set to forward to the wordpress, not the proxy.
So it was working properly, but the request was being answered by a hardcoded setting.

I’ll be loading the SSL certs for the photo gallery, Nextcloud, etc. later on, Christmas has me busy.

Thank you for the updated Rproxy tips! :slight_smile:
