Thanks!!!! The ProxyPassReverse was the issue... It works.... Greetings, Herwarth -----Original Message----- From: Axel-Stéphane SMORGRAV [mailto:Axel-Stephane.SMORGRAV@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, June 24, 2005 13:31 To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [users@httpd] apache 2.0 as reverse proxy using mod_rewrite HTTP 302 is not an error: it is a redirection. The thing which is wrong with that is the Location header which makes a reference to a server which is not known to the clients: webserver-internal. In other words, the backend server tells the browser to make a request for http://webserver-internal/dealer/sso/login. The browser tries to reach webserver-internal but fails to do so. In order for the Location header in the response to be rewritten, you need to add the following line to your configuration: ProxyPassReverse / http://webserver-internal/ Then, when the 302 response reaches the browser, the Location header will contain http://webserver/dealer/sso/login. You can probably remove the line ProxyPassReverse / http://ip-address/ although it probably does not hurt to leave it. -ascs -----Original Message----- From: Heitmann, Herwarth [mailto:herwarth.heitmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, June 24, 2005 1:01 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [users@httpd] apache 2.0 as reverse proxy using mod_rewrite Ok I made a mistake in the initial question When someone goes to https://webserver it has to be redirected to http://webserver-internal/dealer/start You were right on https://login it has no subdirectory redirect and this works without the rewrite... I got the following 302 found error from the browser (with header display tool) HTTP/1.1 302 Found Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2005 10:43:25 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) Location: http://webserver-internal/dealer/sso/login;DAX_SESSION_COOKIE=C7kFPYZikF3EPG3aKAHBhK2F8JTlnu3lZPk1pcX6A22NluGlzkFK!398064258!175689490!8000!7002 Set-Cookie: DAX_SESSION_COOKIE=C7kFPYZikF3EPG3aKAHBhK2F8JTlnu3lZPk1pcX6A22NluGlzkFK!398064258!175689490!8000!7002; path=/dealer Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Connection: close Transfer-Encoding: chunked So it goes to the right server but it ends at dealer/sso....
