Re: Running Roundup on RedHat 7 Enterprise

Thanks Matthieu!

I tried the reverse proxy solution with Apache, but haven't gotten it to
work so far.  Here are the details.

I setup the tracker in /swadm/roundup/trackers/support

I started the tracker with
$roundup-server -p 8080 support=/swadm/roundup/trackers/support

And I can see it running.  I can see the tracker service on localhost by
going to
$lynx localhost:8080

I configured the support trackers web in config.ini to:
web = http://drcweb-prd.oit.umn.edu/support/

And my virtual host file looks like this.  I tried both the ProxyPass
method and the RewriteRule.  Following the FAQ documentation -
http://www.roundup-tracker.org/docs/FAQ.html#how-do-i-put-roundup-behind-apache

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName drcweb-prd.oit.umn.edu
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/drcweb-prd
        <Directory /var/www/html/drcweb-prd>
                Require all granted
                DirectoryIndex index.html
        </Directory>
#       <IfModule mod_proxy.c>
#               ProxyPass /support/
http://drcweb-prd.oit.umn.edu:8080/support/
#
        RewriteEngine on

        ## Handle Support Issues
        RewriteRule ^/support$  support/    [R]
        RewriteRule ^/support/(.*)$
http://drcweb-prd.oit.umn.edu:8080/support/$1 [P,L]

</VirtualHost>

I see the following error in Apache error log:

[Thu Sep 06 13:54:35.344701 2018] [proxy:error] [pid 2665] (111)Connection
refused: AH00957: HTTP: attempt to connect to 127.0.1.1:8080 (*) failed
[Thu Sep 06 13:54:35.344772 2018] [proxy_http:error] [pid 2665] [client
160.94.228.6:55278] AH01114: HTTP: failed to make connection to backend:
drcweb-prd.oit.umn.edu

What may be wrong?

Thanks!
