Seeking Solutions for Site Inaccessibility After Deleting Apache's ProxyPass Configuration

Question

I was adjusting my Apache server settings today but accidentally deleted /etc/httpd/conf.d/ProxyPass. After this change, I can no longer access https://domain, and all related subdomain sites have also become inaccessible.

ProxyPass is a directive in Apache configuration that redirects specific requests to another server or application. Deleting it seems to have caused the site to become inaccessible. Before deleting the configuration file, the site was functioning normally, so I believe there are no issues with other configuration files (such as ssl.conf).

What I Researched:

• The ProxyPass directive is a standard feature in Apache server and cannot be downloaded separately.
• Restoring the ProxyPass settings can be difficult without a backup as it's server-specific.
• I checked Apache's official documentation and forums but only found specific examples of ProxyPass settings. Apache mod_proxy Documentation

What I Tried:

• I thought reinstalling httpd might also restore ProxyPass.

  yum remove httpd
  yum install httpd

My Issues:

I've never dealt with ProxyPass before, and I'm unsure if it was part of the original files. I'm unclear about the correct way to reset the specific ProxyPass settings. I don't have a server backup to refer to for the original settings. Any guidance or advice on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I checked /var/log/httpd/error-log and found port 3000 error. So I fixed the config file that is related to the port.

It works as before.
