Here is the link to the original question - One IP address, Two Websites, on Two Machines

I have two machines each with apache2 installed and static ip addresses.

Server 1

example.com

static ip = 192.168.0.6

apache2 running on ports 80 and 443 fine

ufw and router firewall are open on ports 80 and 443 as well

Server 2

domain name = myhost01.example.com 

static ip = 192.168.0.7

apache2 running on 8080(HTTP) and 8443(HTTPS) 

ufw and router firewall are open on ports 8080 and 8443

When I go to {http)www.example.com or (https)www.example.com - I correctly receive the web content for server 1

When I go to myhost01.example.com:8080 or myhost01.example.com:8443 - I correctly receive the web content for server 2

I would like to reverse proxy server 2 so when a user goes to http:// myhost01 .example.com/ they receive the content for http:// myhost01. example.com:8080/, basically hiding the port number. Currently, I get an "unable to connect/webpage not found" error, when i try to access myhost01(dot)example(dot)com

In the Virtual Host file for example.com, I used the following:

ProxyRequests Off



ProxyPass / http://myhost01. example.com:8080/

ProxyPassReverse / http://myhost01 .example.com:8080/

Both proxy and proxy_http modules are enabled in apache2

Any ideas on how to get this to work?

P.S. - Spaces were added to the urls because I do not have enough reputation points to post more than two urls.

** UPDATE - See notes below

myhost01 has been added to A Record of Domain Registrant
can do an NSLOOKUP and get correct external ip address for myhost01.example.com

Here below is the Apache Error.log for server1 - Might be a clue to my problems???
