Step 1: Enable the required Apache modules

Ensure that the necessary Apache modules are enabled. You'll need to enable the following modules:

• mod_proxy
• mod_proxy_balancer
• mod_proxy_http (if you want to balance HTTP traffic)
• mod_lbmethod_XXX (choose the appropriate load balancing method module, such as mod_lbmethod_roundrobin, mod_lbmethod_leastconn, or mod_lbmethod_iphash)

  You can enable these modules by running the following commands, depending on your operating system:

  For Ubuntu/Debian:

  Prompt

  sudo a2enmod proxy sudo a2enmod proxy_balancer sudo a2enmod proxy_http sudo a2enmod lbmethod_XXX

  For CentOS/Fedora:

  Prompt

  sudo dnf install -y mod_proxy mod_proxy_balancer mod_proxy_http sudo dnf install -y mod_lbmethod_XXX

  Prompt

  ProxyPass /example/ http://backend-server-1/ ProxyPassReverse /example/ http://backend-server-1/
