how to manage apache ProxyPass
yatesco
I cannot quite figure this out, but it seems possible.
I have a single apache server (apache.mydomain.com) and a number of
(tomcat) application servers (as1..com, as2..com etc.)
I have apache configured so https://apache...com/as1 gets
(proxy)passed to as1.com:8080/as1.
This is working fine, for example:
-- start conf
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
ServerAdmin test-www@XXX
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /as1 http://as1...com:8080/as1
ProxyPassReverse /as2 http://as1...com:8080/as1
ProxyPass /as2 http://as2...com:8080/as2
ProxyPassReverse /as2 http://as2...com:8080/as2
--end conf
Note: I cannot have multiple vhosts as they are all part of a single
host.
My question is what should I put in the puppet nodes for apache.pp and
as1.pp, as2.pp etc. to get this to work successfully?
I have looked at exported resources but that seems to only work for
individual files. I could create a bash script which generates the
apache config using one proxyPass for each file where the file name is
the name of context path but blurgh.
I am sure I have missed something obvious ;) Any pointers?

Use the 'concat' tool written by R.I.Pienaar[1] to build the vhost file from
individual parts. You can then ...

... export the individual fragments that get assembled into the whole thing.

No, you didn't miss anything: there isn't a solution shipped with puppet, but
only something like the module I mention.
