What is the configuration of the virtual host for https://login/ ??? What did you intend that the following line would do ? RewriteRule ^/$ https://webserverl/$1 [R,L] What host is it supposed to redirect to? Is "webserverl" (_l_) a typo?? If it is a typo and you intended to make it "webserver" then you would get a eternal loop between the server and the client. What about the $1 ? What is that supposed to make reference to? Try removing your rewrite rule and see what happens. -ascs ________________________________ From: Heitmann, Herwarth [mailto:herwarth.heitmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2005 5:24 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [users@httpd] apache 2.0 as reverse proxy using mod_rewrite hello, i have some difficulties using apache webserver as a reverse proxy. i am sure it has to do something with url rewriting. the situation is as follows. - at our company we have some external ip address accessible via the internet. these ip addresses has to be assigned to the external ethernet card of the apache machine. we want to terminate ssl connections on the reverse proxy so we are using ip based virtual hosting which works great. - on the second ethernet card we have a connection to the actual websites. internet multiple ip's -------------reverse proxy---------------multiple websites we have a complex application running on the reverse proxy and it does authentication to another website using the same reverse proxy https://webserver ------------ reverse proxy ---------- http://webserver-internal (application redirects to https://login/?return=https://webserver) https://login ------------------- reverse proxy ----------- http://login-internal (application does authentication) https://webserver ------------ reverse proxy ---------- http://webserver-internal httpd conf for virtual host: Listen ip-address:443 <VirtualHost ip-address:443> ServerAdmin webmaster@webserver ServerName webserver ProxyPass / http://webserver-internal/ ProxyPassReverse / http://ip-address-internal/ SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/webserver.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/webserver.key ErrorLog logs/error_log_webserver TransferLog logs/access_log_webserver RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/$ https://webserverl/$1 [R,L] </VirtualHost> it is strange because i get a http 302 return in the browser and does not continue.... it reaches webserver-internal with statement found 302 and then it stops.... it terminates ssl as expected... what am i doing wrong? greetings, herwarth =========================================================== De informatie opgenomen in dit bericht kan vertrouwelijk zijn en is alleen bestemd voor de geadresseerde.
