Need help creating a Virtual Host to forward web requests to another port
I am using my ReadyNAS to run Plex Media Server. In order to serve media to my Apple TV I use PlexConnect to interface between my ATV and Plex. It traps calls to trailers.apple.com allowing my media to play. The AppleTV makes calls on port 80 and PlexConnect runs on port 80. Since I still need to run Apache on my NAS for the admin interface (installs, upgrades, maint, config, etc...) I am at odds. I am new to Linux but have easily gotten PlexConnect to operate using ports 81 and 8443 as opposed to 80 and 443. What I do not know how to do is to configure Apache 2 to send web requests bound for trailers.apple.com as a virtual host on the same machine but different ports. So my issue is Apache 2 VirtualHost configuration. TO be clear, When my ATV sends a request to my NAS at 192.168.2.4:80 for the trailers.apple.com domain, I need Apache 2 to: Recognize and answer that request Forward it to a different port ( :81 ) on same IP I have read that there is a ProxyPass statement but all examples say that is for a different machine. How do I create the trailers.apple.com virtual host and how can I forward it? Thank you in advance for any assistance. ReadyNAS 516 Series 24TbSolved5KViews0likes3Comments
