Example of Apache Reverse Proxy configuration for Confluence

Here is how to setup reverse proxy on Apache to work with Confluence.

Place this in the httpd.conf file for Apache web server:

<VirtualHost *>
   DocumentRoot "/home/confluence.foo/http"
   ServerName www.foo.com
   ServerAlias new.foo.com foo.com
   <Directory "/home/confluence.foo/http">
         allow from all
        Options +Indexes
   </Directory>

        # Put this in the main section of your configuration
        # (or desired virtual host, if using Apache virtual hosts)
        # from old foo:
        ProxyRequests Off
        # from old foo:
        ProxyPreserveHost On

        # following lines from old foo:
        <Proxy *>
                Order deny,allow
                Allow from all
        </Proxy>

# Log error: permission denied proxy http attempt to connect to
# Need to do command this under CentOS/SELinux:  togglesebool httpd_can_network$
# Above will be lost after reboot. This is needed to make it permanent:
#   setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect true
#

        <Location /confluence>
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Location>
</VirtualHost>
