Josh, here is what the apache 1.3 manual says about Directory and Location directives : Location Directive : " For all origin (non-proxy) requests, the URL to be matched is of the form /path/, and you should not include any http://servername prefix. For proxy requests, the URL to be matched is of the form scheme://servername/path, and you must include the prefix. " ---- What does this mean ?? I did not include the prefix but it still was working... This is from " How Directory, Location and Files sections work " " But a notable exception is : proxy control is done via <Directory>. This is a legacy mistake because the proxy existed prior to <Location>. A future version of the config language should probably switch this to <Location>.
