Hello, I have two servers. server A and server B. My main website is hosted on server A. Can I install reverse proxy on server B via AAPANEL so that If I put server B IP in cloudflare DNS then my website opens from server A?

Hello sirfpsycho There is no problem in principle

Can you please guide me how can I do that?

Create example.com website in A server Create an empty site on server B using your domain name Add a reverse proxy on server B Target URL: http://x.x.x.x your server a ip Sent Domain: example.com your server a domain name Resolve your domain name a record to server b in cloudflare

Create example.com website in A server

Create an empty site on server B using your domain name

Is your domain name on point number 2 a random domain or it should be the same as example.com on point number 1?

Hi Brother!
I have set it up as follows:
Step 1: Server A (192.168.10.145) install aapanel. Create example.com website in server A
Step 2: Server B (192.168.10.206) install aapanel, too and create an empty site on server B using domain example.com
Step 3: On server B add a reverse proxy

Target URL: http://192.168.10.145 (server A ip)
Sent Domain: example.com on server A domain name

However, when access domain example.com redirect to Unbound domain page on server B (192.168.10.145)

Why do not show content example.com?

Please help me. Thank so much!

Caching is always good, can save much resources.
When you have Wordpress site, then Cloudflare + WPRocket or any 1 cache plugin is enough.

I enabled cache for reverse proxy but what is the recommended cache minutes hours? leave it as default 1min ?

jabr

Can someone help please? when I enable cache in reverse proxy, can't log in in wp-admin of my site.

sirfpsycho

jabr don't enable cache in reverse proxy. After enabling cache login issue comes.

Hi. Is it okay to turn off the cache?

x3inspire

aaPanel_Kern
I prefer to enable the cache 😃

aaPanel_Kern

x3inspire
So can you log in when not enabled?

x3inspire

aaPanel_Kern
yes, after disable the cache i can login.

aaPanel_Kern

What error message is there when I log in after enabling the cache? Check logs and error logs
Cache these files after opening the cache gif|png|jpg|css|js|woff|woff2
You can modify the Conf to remove the affected files

aaPanel_Kern
The log error i should check on proxy server or main server?

Hi, i think i manage to make the reverse proxy working... i test it by typing the server B's domain(i use my direct ip) and it directs me to server A website, but the url changes to server A's domain. how to be able to show the server A content while the url still from the server B's domain?

hilord

Considering you're talking about reverse proxy and not redirect, you should be able to fine tune any detail about it. Maybe try to indicate the domain you want to display in the address bar in the headers, like this, beside the proxy_pass directive:

proxy_set_header Host server_b_domain;

hilord Hi, thanks for your suggestion, I tried this using different site with a domain name instead as the server B's domain name. but the url, still changes to server A's domain.

aaP_fallingrais

aaP_fallingrais but i'm curious... Why if i use https instead of http in the target url, it gives me 502 bad gateway.

hilord

aaP_fallingrais Hmmm, did you well restart the web server service (nginx or apache?) after the modification in conf? Did you test the validity of the overall config (e.g. "nginx -t") with success?

About the 502 Bad Gateway, it says that the proxy received an invalid response from the upstream server... It could be because there's no valid certificate at a point, because the target server doesn't listen to the port 443 on the right IP, because there's too many redirections (e.g. sometimes when the proxy sends the wrong scheme in headers* and final server is trying to force SSL while it's already there)... Well, first, maybe you should look at both server logs.

*proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto http;
