I have upgraded apache2 from 2.2.x to 2.4.23 during a failover migration.
When I tried to start my server with my previous configuration I couldn't get it to work.
My default host contains Proxy directives that lead to applications installed on the production server on different ports. So the Apache server basically offers a gateway to several applications each one installed on its own (Tomcat) runtime.
Within the default-server.conf I had
ProxyPass "/jira" "http://localhost:9090/jira" connectiontimeout=5 timeout=30
ProxyPassReverse "/jira" "http://localhost:9090/jira"
ProxyPreserveHost on
ProxyPass /artifactory http://localhost:8081/artifactory
ProxyPassReverse /artifactory http://localhost:8081/artifactory
Apache will fail starting at the very first of these lines
Starting httpd (prefork) AH00526: Syntax error on line 202 of /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/default.include:
Invalid command 'ProxyPass', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
The command line was:
/usr/sbin/httpd-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
But mod proxy is enabled
From /etc/sysconfig/apache2:
APACHE_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_file authz_host authz_groupfile authz_user authn_dbm autoindex cgi dir env expires include log_config mime negotiation setenvif ssl suexec userdir php5 reqtimeout mod_dav mod_dav_fs mod_proxy authz_core"
Also, running apache2ctl -M to show modules returns this interesting gem
# apache2ctl -M
AH00526: Syntax error on line 202 of /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/default.include:
Invalid ProxyPass|ProxyPassMatch parameter. Parameter must be in the form 'key=value'.
How can I make my reverse proxy work again? OS is SLES 11 SP4
