[How-To] HTTPD & Apache

Olivier | How-To | 13

Install HTTPD

yum install httpd

Check Proxy mod is installed/enabled :

vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

and look for “proxy_balancer” module

To add a reverse proxy settings, create a new .conf file un /etc/httpd/conf.d/ like :

<Location "/artifactory">
    ProxyPass http://myhost:8081/artifactory
    ProxyPassReverse http://myhost:8081/artifactory
</Location>

In case of error like :

Permission denied: proxy: HTTP: attempt to connect to

You must disable SELinux :

vi /etc/selinux/config

=> SELINUX=disabled

apache, CentOS, httpd

[CentOS] Disable firewall [Centos] Yum download RPM package

Error
```
No space left on device: AH00023: Couldn’t create the rewrite-map mutex
```
This is almost always caused by the semaphore limit of the OS, and Apache not properly cleaning up after itself. Luckily this is a simple problem to fix. Simply execute the following command via SSH or console:
```
ipcs -s | awk -v user=apache '$3==user {system("ipcrm -s "$2)}'
```

Error :
```
[error] (13)Permission denied: proxy: HTTP: attempt to connect to 192.168.1.1:7990 (bitbucket.example.com) failed
```
By default, SELinux prevents Apache from initiating outbound connections, so it is unable to proxy requests to Bitbucket Server.
```
/usr/sbin/setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1
```
