Hello.
I am testing my understanding of reverse proxies
with a toy example on my laptop,
which I am failing at making it work.
On my laptop (host) I run a virtual machine (guest).
Both host and guest have apache 2.2 running.
The host accesses guest's document root pointing
the browser to http://localhost:8080/.
My goal is to use mod_proxy to make the guest content
accessible from host at http://localhost/foo/.
The problem that I observe is that relative links
on pages served by the guest (eg: b/b.html)
aren't translated (eg: foo/b/b.html), and I get a 404.
I am good at getting http://localhost/foo/a.html and
http://localhost/foo/b/b.html if I go directly there,
but the relative link inside those pages aren't mapped
to the host "name-space".
Please find below relevant snippets of my config
and files and loaded modules.
Regards,
GGhh
