The proxy
module provides proxying support, allowing httpd
to forward requests and
serve as a gateway for other servers. If its functionality is unnecessary, comment out the module:
#LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
If proxy support is needed, load mod_proxy
and the appropriate proxy protocol handler
module (one of mod_proxy_http
, mod_proxy_ftp
, or mod_proxy_connect
). Additionally,
make certain that a server is secure before enabling proxying, as open proxy servers
are a security risk. mod_proxy_balancer
enables load balancing, but requires that
mod status
be enabled.
