[Liferay] [Apache] Setting up Apache as web server in front of Liferay using mod_proxy

Setting Apache as web server for Liferay front is so easy. Thanks Alpesh Sir ji for help.

Once Apache is installed, open httpd.conf and add the lines like below-

	NameVirtualHost *:80
	<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName liferay62.local
	ProxyPass / http://localhost:4000/
	ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:4000/
	ProxyPreserveHost On
	</VirtualHost>
	<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName liferay61.local
	ProxyPreserveHost On
	ProxyPass / http://localhost:3128/
	ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3128/
	</VirtualHost>

Make sure you enable mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http before starting apache.

	LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
	LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
