To install the reverse proxy server, you need to manipulate the DNS configurations to
support the reverse proxy.
*** What should I use as the OS? The POC uses Ubuntu. Is this the logical OS to
use in the examples?
The following examples use Ubuntu.
Install the Apache HTTP server:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2
Validate the configuration in the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
file:
sudo apache2ctl configtest
If you receive the following warning:
AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
Syntax OK
you can fix it by adding the following configuration to
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf:
ServerName server_domain_or_IP
If you have a firewall installed, ensure the firewall is configured to allow
traffic to Apache.
