Apache Web Server

• dnf install httpd
• nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
• nano /var/www/html/index.html
• systemctl restart httpd
• systemctl stop firewalld

NGINX

→ Web proxy → MTM between client backend servers
→ Web server

• dnf install nginx -y
• systemctl start nginx
• systemctl enable nginx
• lsof -i :80 → check port 80
• systemctl stop firewalld
• systemctl disable firewalld

• nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

  • server { ... }

• nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/myconf.conf

  • server { ... }
• mkdir -p /var/www/mywebserver/html
• nano index.html
• nginx -t → check is everything ok
• systemctl restart nginx

NGINX Reverse Proxy

On server → setup nginx as before

• 403 error → sestatus (selinux status tool)

  • current mode → enforcing
  • fix: chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /var/html/ → fix permission

On client

• nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/myconf.conf

  server {
  location / {
    proxy_pass http://192.168.0.202; # server ip
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
  }
  }
