This howto is for a Debian Linux Distribution

Install and Configure Apache

  1. create 2 users: using the tool adduser [addgroup] (They  are  friendlier  front  ends  to the low level tools like useradd)
  2. install apache with apt-get install (apache2-mpm-worker)
  3. Activate mod_proxy and mod_rewrite:  
    a2enmod proxy
a2enmod rewrite
  4. Activate proxy_http.load 
    ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy_http.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/proxy_http.load

apache2ctl configtest

apache2ctl graceful
  5.  Afterwards create vhost files in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/, e.g. panda.getunik.net
<VirtualHost _default_:80>
        DocumentRoot /var/www2/
        ServerName panda.getunik.net
        ServerAlias panda.getunik.*
        ServerAdmin dev-core@trialox.org

        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/panda-error.log
        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/panda-access.log combined

        ProxyRequests Off
        ProxyPreserveHost On
        ProxyVia Off

        RewriteEngine   On
        RewriteLog      /var/log/apache2/rewrite.log
        RewriteLogLevel 1

        # Reverse Proxy for panda.getunik.net

        ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
        ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/

</VirtualHost>

Upload clerezza instance to the home of each user and start the platform with the port set in ProxyPass. Specify also how has permission to use the proxy in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/proxy.conf

The default configuration of vhost is defined as follows:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        DocumentRoot /var/www/
        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>
        <Directory /var/www/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
        <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
                AllowOverride None
                Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Directory>

        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn

        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>
