I am making a proxy server using docker as done in this tutorial. When I try and reload apache I get this error on line 4 and I'm not sure what it is from. Here is a copy of my vhost file.

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/"
ServerName my.server.name
<Proxy *>
Allow from localhost
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
</VirtualHost>

Here is a photo of my error. enter image description here

I have also tried putting quotes around the asterisk on line 4 (as seen in apache documentation) <Proxy "*">

Can someone help show me my syntax error or explain to me what I am doing wrong here? I've been at this for 2 days.

Here is the tutorial I have been following: https://medium.com/@jmarhee/running-multiple-web-applications-on-a-docker-host-with-apache-85f673f02803

I found this question which seemed similar but not really what I needed.

Probably the Apache2 proxy modules are not enabled. Try to enable the two basic proxy modules and restart the server:

sudo a2enmod proxy proxy_http           # Press [Tab] to find more modules
sudo systemctl restart apache2.service

To find the enabled modules you could use:

sudo apache2ctl -M
