Apache Reverse Proxy in front of Pagekite?

[Jon Spriggs]

Hi All,

I seem to recall that someone said they'd put an apache reverseproxy in front of PageKite so their "native" website on the box would track IPs "properly", but anything going to PageKite would just work.

There's a post [1] on the pagekite forum which suggests this isn't working. If you've [2] got it working, could you document what you've done, so we can all benefit from this?

Cheers :D

[2] by "you", I mean "the person who I'm sure said they've got this working" :)

I do things the other way around - I put a normal web server directly
behind a PageKite frontend, for example on the pagekite.net website
itself. This is trivially done by simply specifying a service_on=
line at the frontend, just like you would at the backend.

I suspect Apache messes with the request stream too much for things to
work the other way around, but as you say, it would be interesting to
hear success stories if I am mistaken.

Ooooo, this looks like it might help... Not necessarily for moving pagekite behind apache, but to solve the ip thing :-)
