Running Behind Apache

Introduction

You may want to run your QuickBuild instance behind Apache for some reasons. To do so, the following situations are assumed:

The following commands are Ubuntu specified, if you are running on other platform, please reference the apache documents on your platform.
An existing Apache web server has been set up already.
mod_proxy has been enabled. If you haven't, you may enable it by running command:
a2enmod proxy
You run your QuickBuild instance at http://localhost:8810, and you want site http://build.example.com on the regular port (80) available after configuring the mod_proxy.

Configure your apache

Create a file named build.example.com.conf at your apache configurations directory: your_apache_home/conf/sites-available and edit it by adding below lines:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        # if you are configuring reverse proxy with https enabled, make sure to prepend the ServerName
        # directive with "https://" schema, for example: https://build.example.com:443
        ServerName build.example.com

        ProxyRequests Off

        # turn off this option. We will rely on ProxyPassReverse to translate 
        # urls in Http response headers.
        ProxyPreserveHost Off

        <Proxy *>
                Order deny,allow
                Allow from all
        </Proxy>

        ProxyPass / http://localhost:8810/
        ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8810/

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

        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/quickbuild-error.log
        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/quickbuild-access.log combined
        LogLevel warn
</VirtualHost>

Then, we can enable this configuration and restart the apache server:

# a2ensite build.example.com.conf
# /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

That is it.
