apache server-status behind nginx

If you cannot access /server-status page on apache which is behind nginx

1. check if elinks are installed

• rpm -aq|grep elinks
  elinks-0.12-0.6.pre2.fc10.i386
  (Checks if elinks is installed.  Do this before installing elinks.)
• yum install elinks
  (IF elinks is NOT installed)
• rpm -aq|grep elinks
  elinks-0.12-0.6.pre2.fc10.i386
  (To verify installation worked) 

2. Check if status is enabled in httpd.conf

• vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
• Find and uncomment the line ExtendedStatus On (Remove # from start of line)
• Find and uncomment the following directives.  Change configuration From #<Location /server-status>
  #   SetHandler server-status
  #    Order deny,allow
  #    Deny from all
  #    Allow from example.com
  #</Location> To <Location /server-status>
      SetHandler server-status
      Order deny,allow
      Deny from all
      Allow from localhost 127.0.0.1
  </Location>
• Save the configuration file and exit (In vi type :wq )
• service httpd restart
  (Restart the httpd service) 

 If still cannot access add to nginx/conf.d/default.conf

location /server-status/ {
           fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000 #if using php-fpm
           proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080 #to your local listening apache on port 8080 or other
}

3. restart nginx

4. if still does not work - check if you use virtual host on apache, if yes move your block  

<Location /server-status> inside <VirtualHost *:8080> 

and restart apache

5. check if you can access

lynx -dump http://127.0.0.1:8080/server-status


6. if still does not work check if there is no redirection problem in .htaccess file and add

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/server-status
