Apache Configuration Example

Use the following example to configure Apache as a your web server. Below config if for an Apache Reverse Proxy configuration.

$ sudo a2enmod proxy
$ sudo a2enmod proxy_http
$ sudo a2enmod proxy_balancer
$ sudo a2enmod headers
$ sudo a2enmod ssl
$ sudo a2enmod rewrite

# requires Apache 2.4+, required to handle websockets/channelstream
$ sudo a2enmod proxy_wstunnel

## HTTP to HTTPS rewrite
<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName rhodecode.myserver.com
   DocumentRoot /var/www/html
   Redirect permanent / https://rhodecode.myserver.com/
</VirtualHost>

## MAIN SSL enabled server
<VirtualHost *:443>

    ServerName rhodecode.myserver.com
    ServerAlias rhodecode.myserver.com

    ## serve static files by Apache, recommended for performance
    #Alias /_static /home/ubuntu/.rccontrol/community-1/static

    RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"

    ## channelstream websocket handling
    ProxyPass /_channelstream ws://localhost:9800
    ProxyPassReverse /_channelstream ws://localhost:9800

    <Proxy *>
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
    </Proxy>

    # Directive to properly generate url (clone url) for RhodeCode
    ProxyPreserveHost On

    # Url to running RhodeCode instance. This is shown as `- URL:` when
    # running rccontrol status.
    ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:10002/ timeout=7200 Keepalive=On
    ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:10002/
