In some situations Virtuoso services like WebDAV, JSP, PHP etc. may need to be accessed via an Apache Web Server. All this can be done through apache's mod_proxy to Virtuoso HTTP server and the Virtuoso HTTP server can be configured to take requests coming only from localhost.

The following configuration makes : The Virtuoso server to listen for HTTP requests coming ONLY from localhost. Apache proxies the outside requests to Virtuoso HTTP server.

        line added to the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
        (999.999.999.999, must be changed with actual IP address of external interface):
        ----------------------------------
        Listen 8080
        <VirtualHost 999.999.999.999:8080 127.0.0.1:8080>
               ServerAdmin webmaster@host.example.domain
               ProxyPass  / http://example.com/
        </VirtualHost>
        ----------------------------------
        

        Then changes in the virtuoso.ini

        [HTTPServer] section)
        ...
        ServerPort = 127.0.0.1:6666
