server 5 reverse proxy web apps

OS X Server 5 seems to have a new methodology for using web apps to do apache reverse proxy.


Whereas in version 4 and earlier the Read Me in /Library/Server/Web/Apache/ talked about:

sites/0000_any_80_.conf

sites/0000_any_443_.conf


The Read Me for version 5 now talks about:

sites/0000_127.0.0.1_34580_.conf

sites/0000_127.0.0.1_34543_.conf


Webapps I created for Reverse Proxy that have been working in 10.8, 10.9, and 10.10 are now suddenly gettng these new ports substituted for the ports I specified and the resulting web page cannot be werved.


i.e. a reverse proxy for the port 80 site: mypage.exmple.com which should be going to port 8003 like this: mypage.example.com:8003/login

is being reformatted to: mypage.example.com:34580/login and ending up unable to be served.


Likewise all port 443 web apps are getting the number 34543 substituted in for there specified port.

https://mypage.example.com:8083/login is becoming https://mypage.example.com:34543/login


Does anyone have further information or insight into this?

The example set in the new Apache 2 folder of Server 5 seems incomplete and I have not been able to resolve the problem.

I was finally able to get Web App reverse proxy files created for Server 3 and 4 working in the newly released Server 5.

for those who are interested in this sort of thing, the revised Reverse Proxy tutorial v. 1.08 is now available at the RAIS page: http://rais.precursor.ca
