In *this* posting, you're issuing a 302 redirect to http://www.whatsonchennai.com:8080/ (note that lack of a [P,L] in your RewriteRule; the 'P' is required for Proxying; RTFM at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html#RewriteRule). If the goal is to keep the ':8080'-style URLs from being seen by the end user, a Proxy-style setup will be required. Note also that the above example could be written as: <VirtualHost 203.199.200.129> #DocumentRoot /home/domains/whatsonchennai.com/Webdir ServerName www.whatsonchennai.com ProxyPass / http://www.whatsonchennai.com:8080/ ProxyPassReverse / http://www.whatsonchennai.com:8080/ </VirtualHost> No mod_rewrite needed. =) In your first posting, you had: > <VirtualHost 203.199.69.181> > ServerName rosaonline.org > RewriteEngine On > RewriteLog "/usr/local/apache/logs/rewrite.log" > RewriteLogLevel 0 > ProxyPass rotaryindia.net http://203.199.69.181:8080/ > RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://127.0.0.1:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/rosaonline.org:80/ROSA/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [P,L] > </VirtualHost> This does two things: 1) Any request like this: GET rotaryindia.net HTTP/1.0 Host: rosaonline.org ...would get proxyed to http://203.199.69.181:8080/. The user would see whatever they had typed into their browser, Apache would make an outbound HTTP request to http://203.199.69.181:8080/, and return the contents of that request. Note that anything in the request path after 'rotaryindia.net' would get mapped to the target URL, so: GET rotaryindia.net/foo/bar/baz.html HTTP/1.0 Host: rosaonline.org ...would result in Apache fetching the content from http://203.199.69.181:8080/foo/bar/baz.html. 2) The RewriteRule portion doesn't do anything all that fancy; it simply Rewrites any request to an outbound request to 127.0.0.1:8080, so that a request which looks like this: GET /foo/bar/baz.html HTTP/1.0 Host: rosaonline.org ...becomes a Proxy request to http://127.0.0.1:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/rosaonline.org:80/ROSA/VirtualHostRoot/foo/bar/baz.html --n --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
