Research direction

No repository files or tests are named. Start by checking the Apache VirtualHost configuration and its proxy target at localhost:8080, then compare access by local IP with the configured host. Done means the local intranet address serves Streama instead of Apache's welcome page.

Description

Hello everyone,

I am very interested in deploying a LOCAL web server with Streama, in order to post videos from my company to our local intranet. So the idea is for our users to access the server locally and not from the internet, meaning no certificates nor public records are needed, at least in theory.

I tried following this guide, knowing it's not an official one:

https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how-to-install-streama-on-centos-7/

So what I omit on this guide is this step:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName streama.yourdomain.com
Redirect permanent / https://streama.yourdomain.com/
TransferLog /var/log/httpd/streama.yourdomain.com_access.log
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/streama.yourdomain.com_error.log

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName streama.yourdomain.com
ServerAdmin email@yourdomain.com
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/streama.yourdomain.com/cert.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/streama.yourdomain.com/privkey.pem
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/
TransferLog /var/log/httpd/streama.yourdomain.com_ssl_access.log
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/streama.yourdomain.com_ssl_error.log

Configuration on port 443 was removed, as we are not using any certificates, creation of certificates was also omit and port 80 redirect permanent option was also deleted.

After all that, when accessing local IP address on intranet browsers I see the welcome page for Apache but not the streama website, anything you might recommend to check?
