A summarize of the how to, to get WordPress on a server and a reverse proxy on another
(I didn’t do it so directly, but it should work like this)

1/ Install a LAMP server with WordPress (lamp1) w/o ssl

2/ Create or import your site locally (lamp1)

3/ Set you domain to the reverse proxy with https (’web1.blabla.com’; port 443)

4/ On the reverse proxy set the destination to lamp1 with 80

5/ In WP rename all lamp1 to web1.blabla.com with a plugin like Search & Replace
At that stage except the web1.blabla.com should be in https, the site should work with a security issue (no valid certificate)

6/ add this at the very start of your wp-config.php
define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);
if ($_SERVER[‘HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO’] == ‘https’)
$_SERVER[‘HTTPS’]=’on’;

7/ add the following at the very end of your wp-config.php
define(‘WP_HOME’,’web1.blabla.com’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’web1.blabla.com’);

8/ with apache:
In /etc/apache2/sites-available, add your site configuration
web1.blabla.com.conf
with the line ServerName web1.blabla.com

I added also in apache2.conf to avoid the following message, but don’t know if it’s the best practice
AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1. Set the ‘ServerName’ directive globally to suppress this message

sudo a2ensite web1.blabla.com
sudo apache2ctl configtest
=> Syntax OK
systemctl reload apache2

A stupid question, as I’m not an html guy (I think you’ve already guess it!)
Is it normal to see the “public page’s HTML source” or do have I do something to secure my site?

Thanks George for your reply 🙂

I think I have no longer https://lamp1wp/ but I need to double check…

Where do you think I could have let one of those url?

Note that both WordPrss URL and Site URL must be publicly accessible on the Internet

ok, I have set https://atelier3.bris.fr/ for both

Hi @thelmachido
thanks for your reply
Yes it is better now even though I’d like to have the menu higher

George
thanks for your reply!
my answers

“you want to point my.blabla.fr to your computer and host your website locally”
=> YES

” you need to map my.blabla.fr to the public IP address of whatever server is hosting the WordPress website”
=> sure, already done for other app hosted locally
for instance here for the first version of my site https://atelier.bris.fr/
(on Synology, all integrated, not good response time, but that’s show I can map my domain name to a local server) and I had some issues when changing the domain name ☹
So I’ve done again my site on another server and want to map it with my domain name

I’m not sure it’s just a reverse proxy subject, do I have to do things on the WordPress config? I’ll do it on another domain name to see what happens w/o any change on WordPress

ooop’s!!! too early this morning for me!

my mistake the site will be like my.blabla.fr

I should have written:

I have a wordpress installed locally (mylocalsite) and I’d like to put it on the web (my.blabla.fr)
