Configuring Apache

To enable the traffic routing from Apache to AcuToWeb Gateway, use the following steps:

1. (Optional) To enable WebSocket compression, edit your gateway configuration file to include the following line:

   "ws_compression"     : 1,

2. Open the Apache httpd.conf file.
3. Enable the proxy module by uncommenting the following lines:

   LoadModule proxy_module "{APACHEPATH}/modules/mod_proxy.so"
   LoadModule proxy_wstunnel_module "{APACHEPATH}/modules/mod_proxy_wstunnel.so"

4. Append the following to the end of the file:

   # HTTP
   <VirtualHost *:80>
       ProxyPreserveHost On
       ProxyPass / http://{ip-gateway}:{webserver_port of gateway.conf}/
       ProxyPassReverse / http://{ip-gateway}:{webserver_port of gateway.conf}/
   </VirtualHost>
   # WebSocket
   <VirtualHost *:{The port used by the client to communicate to the gateway}>
       RequestHeader set Host "{ip-gateway}:{tcp_port of gateway.conf}"
       ProxyPreserveHost On
       ProxyPass / ws://{ip-gateway}:{tcp_port of gateway.conf}/
       ProxyPassReverse / ws://{ip-gateway}:{tcp_port of gateway.conf}/
   </VirtualHost>

5. Consult the following scenarios, and use the appropriate one to help you replace the place-holder text in the sections that you have just added, with real information.
