From source

• Requirements for Ubuntu
  • apt-get install gcc
  • apt-get install libc6-dev
  • apt-get install make
• Download the latest Apache httpd 2.2.x (e.g. httpd-2.2.13)
• Install as proxy: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/httpd-2.2.13 --enable-proxy --enable-proxy-http --enable-proxy-balancer
  
• make
• make install
• Configure virtual hosts within /usr/local/httpd-2.2.13/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
• A sample can be found at YANEL_HOME/src/httpd-2.2.3/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
• Add proxy settings to realm configuration (realms.xml), e.g.:
• <realm id="...
  <reverse-proxy>
  <host-name>www.yulup.org</host-name>
  <port>80</port>
  <ssl-port>443</ssl-port>
  <prefix>/yanel/yulup-website</prefix>
  </reverse-proxy>
  </realm>
• Activate vhosts config within /usr/local/httpd-2.2.13/conf/httpd.conf:
• Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
• UNIX: Add apachectl to various runlevels:
• Copy bin/apachtctl to /etc/init.d/apachectl
• Create symbolic link at /etc/rc0.d/K91apachectl
• Create symbolic link at /etc/rc1.d/K91apachectl
• Create symbolic link at /etc/rc2.d/S91apachectl
• Create symbolic link at /etc/rc3.d/S91apachectl
• Create symbolic link at /etc/rc4.d/S91apachectl
• Create symbolic link at /etc/rc5.d/S91apachectl
• Create symbolic link at /etc/rc6.d/K91apachectl
