proxy_module question

Hi
was not sure but is proxy_module used by interworx, can I safely disable the module ?

thank you

Hi bear

My initial thought as I’m not at my pc, would be to check a vhost file to see if there is any reference to proxy

If there is, it most likely is in use but if no reference to proxy, it likely is not

You could also disable proxy, clear browser cache and test by going to a website you host

I say this because some users may use proxy and some not I suppose

I hope that helps a little

Many thanks

John

[B]just had another seach, look like it does

Hi bear

Many thanks

I think your getting slightly confused, remember iworx uses its own services, and not those of siteworx hosting.

As a test, you can stop Apache web server running and still access nodeworx

I could be wrong though, and it maybe me getting confused, so I apologise in advance

Many thanks

John

John, I’m not sure if that’s the case here.

The iworx.conf is actually running on the public web server and is then passing off the connection from port 80 / 443 to the internal Iworx server on port 2080.

Hi Justin

Yes, your correct. It was me getting confused sorry

Many thanks

John

The only reason I want to disable it is I get a lot of these in logwatch recently.

Connection attempts using mod_proxy:
197.211.63.127 -> b-api.facebook.com:443: 1 Time(s)
197.211.63.127 -> b-graph.facebook.com:443: 1 Time(s)

Hi bear

Many thanks

Sorry to ask a silly question, but which log are you looking at to see these entries

Also, your log looks a lot like a bad bot

Many thanks

John

Yes, you can safely disable the module.
I would always disable every proxy module on my site by default, unless it is specifically need it.
Here are some of them look over it:
proxy_ftp_module
proxy_http_module
proxy_ajp_module
proxy_connect_module
