    Separate Frontend and backend

    Hello!
    Is it possible to serve frontend from one web-server (e.g. 192.168.0.133) and connect to another server (192.168.0.132) for backend requests?

    Hi,
    sure, this is I would call the normal operation ;-) Obviously 127.0.0.1 is also possible but the communication is TCP based in any case. The webserver is used to proxy the backend requests though.

      Oh, nice! How to install and configure web-interface separately? Is there a guide?
      We use an old 6.22 version.

        It should be rather straightforward. All packages installed under the webserver's docroot on the Apache/frontend server and all others on the backend/middleware server. Then just make sure that the proxy_http.conf is updated with the middleware IP. There is not much more than that from the top of my head.
