   Hello,

   I'm trying to run several websites for myself, one of them being wordpress, off of one IP. After Googling around a bit I found the mod_proxy for Apache which will let me do this. My endgame is to have something like this:
   |---> Server 1
   [internet]-->[proxy host]---+---> WordPress
   |---> Server 2
   |---> Server 3

   Each server is listening to ports 80 and 443. Here is what I have to proxy things to the WordPress server:
   

   NameVirtualHost *:80
   NameVirtualHost *:443
   
   <VirtualHost *:80>
           ServerName SERVER_URL
           ProxyPreserveHost On
           ProxyPass / http://1.2.3.4/
           ProxyPassReverse / http://1.2.3.4/
   </VirtualHost>
   
   #<VirtualHost *:443>
   #        ServerName SERVER_URL
   #        ProxyPreserveHost On
   #        ProxyPass / https://1.2.3.4
   #        ProxyPassReverse / https://1.2.3.4
   #</VirtualHost>

   The SSL-secured site has been disabled for now until I can figure out how to proxy the SSL propery (some help in this area wouldn't be unappreciated, but the main goal is I'd like to have a working site first.)

   Note: The configs above have been sanitized

   I must apologize, I was digging through the logs on the WP server instead of my proxy server, I needed to add the following directive to actually allow the proxy:

   <Location />
   Order deny,allow
   Allow from all
   </Location>

   So my new config looks like this:
   

   NameVirtualHost *:80
   NameVirtualHost *:443
   
   <VirtualHost *:80>
           ServerName SERVER_URL
           ProxyPreserveHost On
           ProxyPass / http://1.2.3.4/
           ProxyPassReverse / http://1.2.3.4/
   <Location />
   Order deny,allow
   Allow from all
   </Location>
   </VirtualHost>
