Some Tricks for apache and The Pro

[super_poussin]

• How-to activate compression (mod_deflate)
  
  put this code in deflate.conf in /etc/frontview/apache/addons/
  
  

  
  LoadModule deflate_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_deflate.so
  DeflateFilterNote Input instream
  DeflateFilterNote Output outstream
  DeflateFilterNote Ratio ratio
  
  LogFormat '"%r" %{outstream}n/%{instream}n (%{ratio}n%%)' deflate
  CustomLog /var/log/frontview/deflate_log deflate
  
  <Location />
  
  # Insert filter
  SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
  
  # Netscape 4.x has some problems...
  BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
  
  # Netscape 4.06-4.08 have some more problems
  BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
  
  # MSIE masquerades as Netscape, but it is fine
  # BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
  
  # NOTE: Due to a bug in mod_setenvif up to Apache 2.0.48
  # the above regex won't work. You can use the following
  # workaround to get the desired effect:
  BrowserMatch \bMSI[E] !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
  
  # Don't compress images
  SetEst
  vIfNoCase Request_URI \
  \.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary
  
  SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI  \
  \.(?:exe|t?gz|zip|gz2|sit|rar)$ no-gzip dont-vary
  
  # Make sure proxies don't deliver the wrong content
  Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
  
  </Location> 
  
  
  

  
  


• Create a virtual host with authentication
  
  put this code for example in virtual.conf in /etc/frontview/apache/addons/
  apache will answer on port 8085
  
  example is extract from my kmotion add-on
  
  

  
  Listen 8085
  
  <VirtualHost *:8085>
      SSLEngine off
      ServerName kmotion
      ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
      DocumentRoot /c/webroot/webcam/www_classic
      
      <Directory /c/webroot/webcam/www_classic>
          Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
          AllowOverride None
          Order allow,deny
          allow from all
      </Directory>
      
      ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error_kmotion.log
  
      # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
      LogLevel warn
  
      CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access_kmotion.log combined
      
      Alias /camera_select/ /c/webroot/webcam/www_classic/images/camera_select/
      Alias /view_select/ /c/webroot/webcam/www_classic/images/view_select/
      Alias /misc/ /c/webroot/webcam/www_classic/images/misc/
      Alias /function_select/ /c/webroot/webcam/www_classic/images/function_select/
      Alias /images/ /c/webroot/webcam/images/
  
      <Location />
      AuthName "Restricted" 
      AuthType Basic
      AuthBasicProvider external
      AuthExternal pwauth
      require user admin
    </Location>
  #LoadModule authnz_external_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_authnz_external.so
  #LoadModule auth_sys_group_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_auth_sys_group.so
  AddExternalAuth pwauth /usr/bin/pwauth
  SetExternalAuthMethod pwauth environment
  </VirtualHost>
  
  

  
  


• Reverse Proxy
  put this code for example in reverse.conf in /etc/frontview/apache/addons/
  apache will answer on port 8089
  first virtual host will produce an error 404 because the directory does not exist it's in case the dns name does not exist
  
  

  
  LoadModule proxy_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy.so
  LoadModule proxy_http_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy_http.so
  LoadModule proxy_connect_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy_connect.so
  listen 8089
  NameVirtualHost *:8089
  <VirtualHost *:8089> 
  SSLEngine off
  ServerName toto.dnsalias.org 
  ServerAlias toto.dnsalias.org 
  DocumentRoot /nowhere
    <Location />
      AuthName "Restricted"
      AuthType Basic
      AuthBasicProvider external
      AuthExternal pwauth
      require user admin
    </Location>
  #LoadModule authnz_external_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_authnz_external.so
  #LoadModule auth_sys_group_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_auth_sys_group.so
  AddExternalAuth pwauth /usr/bin/pwauth
  SetExternalAuthMethod pwauth environment
  
  </VirtualHost> 
  
  
  <VirtualHost *:8089>
  SSLEngine off
  ServerName cam.toto.dnsalias.org
  ServerAlias cam.toto.dnsalias.org
  ProxyRequests off
  ProxyPass / http://192.168.10.214/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.10.214/
    <Location />
      AuthName "Restricted"
      AuthType Basic
      AuthBasicProvider external
      AuthExternal pwauth
      require user admin
    </Location>
  #LoadModule authnz_external_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_authnz_external.so
  #LoadModule auth_sys_group_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_auth_sys_group.so
  AddExternalAuth pwauth /usr/bin/pwauth
  SetExternalAuthMethod pwauth environment
  </VirtualHost>
  
  <VirtualHost *:8089>
  SSLEngine off
  ServerName navigator.toto.dnsalias.org
  ServerAlias navigator.toto.dnsalias.org
  ProxyRequests off
  ProxyPass / http://192.168.10.210/navigator/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.10.210/navigator/

      AuthName "Restricted"

Hello,
where i can find the addon Kmotion ?

Tanks

[drmaltass]

Hi, I'm running a few different SERVER Apps on a READY NAS PRO.
I'd appreciate some help with doing the following:

Our ISP DNS will not let us create a domain name (example: Mailserver.trails.com) and point it to (for example) 192.42.4.1:8080

I was told that I'd need to create a reverse proxy lookup inside of Apache which is running on our READY NAS server, have it listen for the actual domain name (mailserver.trails.com) and send it to 192.42.4.1:8080.

Can someone tell me exactly where this file is located, and the actual code needed inside the file to function properly? We don't want to have our team to remember to type http://www.mailserver.trails.com:8080) every time.

Your help is appreciated.

P.S. I'm a non technical person, so your explanations in layman's terms is appreciated.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this in the four years since it was posted, but there is a typo in that line. It should be:

# Don't compress images
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \
\.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary
