Proper procedure/configuration of OLS as proxy

[ronaldst]

I have recently moved from Apache to OLS and am trying to learn as much as possible.

Recently I've stumbled upon a issue using OLS as proxy infront of netdata - a localhost webserver running on port 19999.

I would ultimately like to access netdata from example.com/netdata.

From what I could find in the docs I am supposed to set up an external app in OLS linked to http://localhost:19999. I've then tried to add a context area (/netdata) to my virtual host, but it returns an error..

by the looks of it OLS tries to look for the netdata files in the correct path (/usr/shared/example/) but appends a netdata dir to the end of its path (/usr/shared/example/netdata) which obviously does not exist.

Have anyone tried pairing OLS with netdata or using OLS as a proxy infront of another webserver - and able to point me in the right direction of how to set this up?

So how about to set the context to /?

 

[ronaldst]

Setting context as / will not work as example.com is used as for a large website.

Is it not possible to proxy the localhost server to a diferent url than the root domain?

 

[David]

You can try another port with the root context.

 

[ronaldst]

You are missing the point. Im not willing to make a compromise, it will either be done or it won't.

I do not know how to answer your question, because it is not simple yes or no.
You may set some rewrite rule to help to do that, but I am not so good at the rules.

@ronaldst , Which doc do you refer to ? https://openlitespeed.org/kb/reverse-proxy-basics/ ?

It should give your instruction on how to do the proxy. If anything not clear or still not working, please let us know and share you tmp ssh login details to your server by logging a ticket with us to take a look.
