Hi, im trying to point subdomain to use another vps with a private ip in the same network with WHM, DNS done with cloudflare because vps inside is on edge network and only allow 80 and 443, 

i adding this to Apache's pre-main include directive in WHM, 

<VirtualHost 10.10.53.2:80>

    ServerName subdomain.example.com
    ServerAlias www.subdomain.example.com

    ProxyRequests Off
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyPass / http://192.168.226.10:80/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.226.10:80/

</VirtualHost>

and it works for http, but i've no idea how to do https, external wildcard SSL certificate already installed on the WHM, tried to add ssl host with WHM but its redirect to cpanel defaultwebpage.cgi

is it possible for https ?

Thanks

  Hey there!  While I can't say for sure, couldn't you just add another entry for the secure 443 vhost?

  tried adding this to apache's pre-main together with the http one but it brings every domain/sub hosted with WHM goes down and unreacheable

  <VirtualHost 10.10.53.2:443>

      ServerName subdomain.example.com
      ServerAlias www.subdomain.example.com

      ProxyRequests Off
      ProxyPreserveHost On
      ProxyPass / https://192.168.226.10:443/
      ProxyPassReverse / https://192.168.226.10:443/

  </VirtualHost>

  Since the entry is in the pre-main file, it could be catching all private traffic somehow, so maybe that isn't the best way to handle that.

  Have you created a cPanel account for this domain so there is a normal vhost in place?  If so, you may be able to customize that particular vhost with an include as outlined here:

  https://docs.cpanel.net/ea4/apache/modify-apache-virtual-hosts-with-include-files/

  but I'm just not sure cPanel is designed to handle this type of configuration without it causing problems for other sites.

  i think i found the solution and it works

  <VirtualHost 10.90.53.2:443> 

      ServerName subdomain.example.com

      SSLEngine on 
      SSLProxyEngine On 
      SSLCertificateFile /var/cpanel/ssl/cpanel/mycpanel.pem
      SSLCertificateKeyFile /var/cpanel/ssl/cpanel/mycpanel.pem
   
      RequestHeader set X-HTTPS 1 
   
      ProxyPreserveHost On 
      ProxyPass / http://192.168.226.10/
      ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.226.10/

  </VirtualHost>

  should i put it on post vhost include editor?

  You're welcome to try, but you're in untested territory so you'll have to test it and see if it works how you expect.
