If you have a service that does not have any authentication, such as Margarita, its easy to do using OS X’s built in Apache<\/p>\n

Make a plan site in Server.app. Give it the port you want.<\/p>\n

Then go and edit the site config file. These are stored in \/etc\/apache2\/sites in 10.7 and in \/Library\/Server\/Web\/Config\/apache2\/sites in 10.8 and 10.9<\/p>\n

Your looking for a file that matches you site, like 0000_any_8100_test.com.conf<\/p>\n

edit the file<\/p>\n

<VirtualHost *:8100>
\n    ServerName test.com
\n    ServerAdmin admin@example.com
\n    DocumentRoot "\/Library\/Server\/Web\/Data\/Sites\/CustomSitesDefault"
\n    DirectoryIndex index.html index.php \/wiki\/ default.html
\n    CustomLog \/var\/log\/apache2\/access_log combinedvhost
\n    ErrorLog \/var\/log\/apache2\/error_log
\n    ProxyPass \/ http:\/\/127.0.0.1:8089\/
\n    <Location \/>   
\n        AuthUserFile \/Library\/Server\/Web\/Data\/Sites\/CustomSitesDefault\/htpass
\n        AuthName "Authorisation Required"
\n        AuthType Basic
\n        require valid-user 
\n    <\/Location>
\n    <IfModule mod_ssl.c>
\n        SSLEngine Off
\n        SSLCipherSuite "ALL:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL:!LOW:!EXP:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM"
\n        SSLProtocol -ALL +SSLv3 +TLSv1
\n        SSLProxyEngine On
\n        SSLProxyProtocol -ALL +SSLv3 +TLSv1
\n    <\/IfModule>
\n   
\n    <Directory "\/Library\/Server\/Web\/Data\/Sites\/CustomSitesDefault">
\n        Options All +MultiViews -ExecCGI -Indexes
\n        AllowOverride None
\n        <IfModule mod_dav.c>
\n            DAV Off
\n        <\/IfModule>
\n    <\/Directory>
\n
\n<\/VirtualHost><\/div><\/div>\n

What your adding is this<\/p>\n

    ProxyPass \/ http:\/\/127.0.0.1:8089\/
\n    <Location \/>   
\n        AuthUserFile \/Library\/Server\/Web\/Data\/Sites\/CustomSitesDefault\/htpass
\n        AuthName "Authorisation Required"
\n        AuthType Basic
\n        require valid-user 
\n    <\/Location><\/div><\/div>\n

The ProxyPass is setting up mod_proxy ,make sure this is loaded in your main httpd.conf, to forward all requests \/ to a server on localhost:8089<\/p>\n

The Location section is then setting for a basic auth password for any access of \/ <\/p>\n

Make sure you have set a user and password using htpasswd and that the file can be read by apache<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
