Websocket reverse proxy with apache2
Hello everyone,
I am having a hard time trying to reverse proxy with apache2 to my production release.
The release is running on port 4010 on a dedicated Linux box. Application works fine when using this port, websocket are also working fine.
But when I use apache2 to reverse proxy, the site appears correctly, the api calls are working too, only websocket are denied with code 403.
So I activated mod_proxy_wstunnel with
a2enmod proxy_wstunnel
and used this virtual host config
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin koko.le.gorille@gmail.com
ServerName www.whatever.com
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://0.0.0.0:4010/
ProxyPass /socket ws://0.0.0.0:4010/
ProxyPassReverse / http://0.0.0.0:4010/
ProxyPassReverse /socket ws://0.0.0.0:4010/
</VirtualHost>
In particular these lines
ProxyPass /socket ws://0.0.0.0:4010/
ProxyPassReverse /socket ws://0.0.0.0:4010/
But socket connection is still denied. I am using apache2 over nginx mainly for historical reason. Any ideas?
Thanks for taking time

Just a little side note: it does not work for the live reload socket, because that one does not use the /socket/ path, and thus falls through over HTTP. I have not found a fix for that, yet.

I accidentally removed my solution. So here it is, again:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
ProxyPass /socket/ ws://myapp.com:8000/socket/
ProxyPassReverse /socket/ ws://myapp.com:8000/socket/
ProxyPass / http://myapp.com:8000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://myapp.com:8000/
</VirtualHost>
The example assumes your Apache reverse proxy is running on example.com, and your application is running on myapp.com with port 8000 published.

This final configuration worked for me including live and live reload
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName myserver.com
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} websocket [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Connection} upgrade [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) "ws://localhost:4000/$1" [P,L]
ProxyPass /socket/ ws://localhost:4000/socket/
ProxyPassReverse /socket/ ws://localhost:4000/socket/
ProxyPass /live/ ws://localhost:4000/socket/
ProxyPassReverse /live/ ws://localhost:4000/socket/
ProxyPass / http://localhost:4000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:4000/
</VirtualHost>
