I currently have a SQL Database and REST API residing on an in house development server. When on the premises my Mac uses a Reverse Proxy (in Apache) to connect and use the REST API on the in house development server. This is to avoid CORS issues. The reverse proxy looks like the following:
ProxyPass /api/ http://192.168.1.250:80/
I wish to move the in house SQL Database and REST API to a Windows Azure Virtual Machine.
Is it possible to do this/is this a viable solution to accessing the REST API remotely? When publishing a website in IIS on a Windows Azure VM access is allowed via a cloudapp.net domain. Is it possible to access the site via an IP address?
I have looked into setting up a VM with a static IP but I am unsure if this would actually solve the above problem - so before spending any more time on this it would be great if someone better versed in this area could chime in!
Any help and guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich

we're beating our heads a bit with this problem of ours. We have a company headquarters with our own network and an external cloud with another network. We want to create a script that when our on-site network does not work, it must automatically use the proxy we created with Squid, which is obviously on the Cloud with another network. Our virtual machine on the cloud with Squid can be reached internally via Firewall. We need an automatic system that uses the proxy when the internet fails in our office, can you help me? I was studying the Pac files, but I understand little of them. If I could also apply it via policy it would be perfect, but I just need to solve at least the first point.
Thanks
I have recently installed PHP, MySQL Server, and Apache web server. I played around with some PHP scripts locally on the PC to insert some entries to MySQL Database.
Noob question so please be patient with me:
How do I get my web service out to the internet, by self hosting? Say I already have a domain for example mydomain.com How do I make it so that when someone not within my network can access mydomain.com/something and can send some data so my server gets it and do anything with that data?
Webhosting
You have to have some form of webhosting. You pay for hosting and you can upload your PHP files to their servers. They will usually also have database servers you can use.
Your domain name has to point to those servers via DNS so the internet can reach your application. I'd suggest you search the internet for popular hosts that provide the tools your need for this.
Self hosting
Another possibility is to open your network up to the world, but this is not recommended unless you have network administration experience due the security trouble that comes with it.
In short: forward a port through your router to the machine running your application. The website portforward.com has instructions on how to do this but keep in mind that misconfiguration could lead to vulnerabilities in your network.
In order to make you site public
1. you need host
2. you need domain
there are bunch of hosting sites you should get one first.
This link explains very well about self hosting

I have developed a website using XAMPP, and am having issues with being able to deploy it for use. The main issue I am having is that the server I am operating on is a corporate server, so I cannot configure the router for a static IP address. The goal of this website is to have it accessible by 10 different computers that will write to an access database. What would be the best method to accomplish this? Thanks, any suggestions are greatly appreciated as I am about to lose my mind.
I'm a little stuck when trying to configure an Azure site-to-site network. I'm using this to connect from Azure into another site for remote management of multiple devices there.
Currently, I believe the majority of the set up to be completed but I now need to secure public IP address for the external site so that they can add these to their firewall rules. Does anyone know how I am meant to acquire the public IP of the VM (which changes each time it is shut down and restarted) or the sites public IP connection to the external site?
Alternatively, what's the best way of doing this? I feel like a site-to-site network doesn't quite fit in with what I'm trying to do but I'm only being offered this solution from the external site (not necessarily just using Azure, though).
You can assign a static IP to your VM:

Hi I am having my own domain mydomain.ac.in and i am having my own server (windows 2008) and a Public static IP.
Now i want to host my site in my own server.
Please give me the step by step information to get it done.
Thanks.
You need to register your domain with some DNS hosting service (DNS provider), there is such an astronomic number of these on the web that I do not want to spam the site. Google.
Also, collocation center where you keep this server (and from where you have probably obtained that public IP) may also provide DNS services.
From the other side, any computer can be configured as the name server but this will probably not work Internet wide and can be used inside the local network only (combined with DHCP service). If there is an easy way to make this Internet wide, I would also be very interested in, but I doubt.
Your operating system is not much relevant to this question.
I registered my domain already in ernet by indian Government and I got my Public Static IP from BSNL India. I hosted my site already and i am able to access my site already using the ip. Now i want to map my domain with the server that i have so that i can access my domain using a domain name.
I tried the steps in http://www.hosting.com/support/dedicated/dns/setdns#additional.. But when i add the name server information it says cannot resolve hostname??? that s why i want to know where i am making mistake..
I once again tried the steps at http://www.hosting.com/support/dedicated/dns/setdns and got it right..Now i have updated the name server info at my domain registrar ernet and waiting for it to be updated. Thanks fo the people helped me
