Laurent - did you test whether mod_rewrite will work on any requests if you remove the ProxyPass directives? it would be good to find out if the rewrite engine is basically working for you. if you can prove the rewrite engine works, perhaps you could avoid using ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse altogether and instead implement of all your redirects using only mod_rewrite's RewriteRule directives. cheers Simon On 11/9/05, LECONTE Laurent ROSI/SICOR <laurent.leconte@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hello all, > > I've configured an Apache 2.0 instance to work as a reverse proxy, > listening on external.address.com and redirecting to > internal.address.com. > > The relevant lines of the httpd.conf file are : > > Listen external.address.com:80 > > <VirtualHost external.address.com:80> > ProxyPass / http://internal.address.com/ > ProxyPassReverse / http://internal.address.com/ > </VirtualHost> > > This works fine, and all our URLs (which look like > http://external.address.com/newsite/whatever) are correctly rerouted to > http://internal.address.com/newsite/whatever > > However, we'd like to maintain backwards-compatibility with the old > site.
