Setup Apache as a Reverse Proxy in front of a standalone Torquebox server.

Apache Setup

Proxy Module

For this to work Apache must have the mod_proxy module loaded:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.1/mod/mod_proxy.html

Config file: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

ProxyRequests Off # Switch off forward proxy ProxyPreserveHost On # Pass host name onto the proxy ProxyPass /myapp http://localhost:8080/myapp/ # Map url to remote server ProxyPassReverse /myapp http://localhost:8080/myapp/ # Adjust header sent from remote server to match url Here we are passing all calls to the /myapp/ url on to the Torquebox server http://localhost:8080/myapp/

TorqueBox Setup

In your Torquebox application folder create a file ‘config/torquebox.yml’ which contains a context which matches the Apache reverse proxy url.

torquebox.yml

web: context: /myapp ruby: version: 1.9
