Setup mod_proxy on apache http server

Question

I wanted to reverse proxy a web service from my tomcat server using apache web server. I have modified the httpd.conf

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.         


        

Answer 1

Since it's easy to overlook, pay attention to @muka's comment:

sudo a2enmod proxy  
sudo a2enmod proxy_http  
sudo service apache2 restart

Make sure to enable both modules proxy and proxy_http!
