I will not lie. I struggled for the better part of 3 hours trying to get my virtualhost set properly to allow me to redirect incoming internet traffic from my main server to a server on my lan, all using port 80. Here’s what worked for me.

1. Enable mod proxy and mod http_proxy with: sudo a2enmod proxysudo a2enmod http_proxy
2. Create a blank virtual host in your sites-available:
   sudo touch /etc/apache2/sites-available/neatserver
3. Open the virtual server (i use ssh into a graphical desktop – it allows copy & paste!):
   sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available
4. here’s the virutal host info (note: this is my WHOLE virtual host for this site on the forwarding server!):
   NameVirtualHost *
   
   ServerName www.neatserver.com
   DocumentRoot /var/www/neatserver
   ProxyRequests Off
   Order deny,allow
   Allow from all

   ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.101/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.1.101/


5. enable the site in apache
   sudo a2ensite neatserver
6. Restart Apache, and it Should (might) work!
   sudo apache2 -k restart
