Running behind Apache proxy

[sebastian-raubach]

I'm trying to run motioneye behind an Apache reverse proxy. I've read quite a few issues on here as well as the wiki on nginx and Apache and I have the following configuration:

RewriteRule /doggycam$        /doggycam/               [R,L]
RewriteRule /doggycam/(.*)$   http://192.168.0.61/$1   [P,L]

This works relatively well. The web interface shows up and all the CSS and everything else loads fine as well. The only issue is that the video itself doesn't show. Looking at the dev console's network tab, I can see a request to http://mydomain:8081/?_=1616781429979 while everything else correctly requests from http://mydomain/doggycam/.

Why is the video the only thing that doesn't seem to work correctly and how can I fix it?

You can running the fully apache server, then setting the ProxyPass, it will be easier.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    Protocols http/1.1

</VirtualHost>

I use this configuration in my raspberry pi Apache server. so I can view the camera both LAN and WAN environment

[sebastian-raubach]

That doesn't seem to change anything. Motioneye still requests from the top level on port 8081 rather than from /doggycam/ on port 80.

[Suzhou65]

Oh, I neglect the port configuration, sorry.

I set the Export setting to port 80, including every motionEye based camera in my environment.

[sebastian-raubach]

It's already running on port 80. As I said everything (including loading CSS and JS) works perfectly fine. The only thing not working is the actual video. Here's what it looks like. URL is http://192.168.0.44/doggycam/, but the only request that fails is the one for the video which for some reason sends the request to http://102.168.0.44:8081/, so wrong port and also not using the /doggycam path.
