Here is a simpler way: (This works only if the other server is within the LAN). I have the drive from the other server mapped into the main server. In the config file I entered, in your case if would look like this: ############ Alias /bb "D:/phpBB2" # where D is the mapped drive with the directory /phpBB2 <Directory "D:/phpBB2"> AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ########### Then http://www.foo.com/bb fire up your phpBB2 application. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Bonner [mailto:bkbonner@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, May 12, 2006 12:00 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [users@httpd] Name-based Virtual Hosts and Reverse Proxy with ProxyPreserveHost On Hello. I have a Apache 2.2 setup in a reverse proxy configuration. On the Proxy Server I have: NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin admin@xxxxxxx DocumentRoot /var/www/foo/html ServerName www.foo.com ErrorLog logs/www.foo.com-error_log CustomLog logs/www.foo.com-access_log common ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPassReverseCookiePath /JSPWiki /wiki ProxyPass /wiki http://app1.internal.com:8080/JSPWiki ProxyPassReverse /wiki http://app1.internal.com:8080/JSPWiki ProxyPass /bb http://app1.internal.com/phpBB2 ProxyPassReverse /bb http://app1.internal.com/phpBB2 ProxyPass / http://app1.internal.com/ ProxyPassReverse / http://app1.internal.com/ </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin admin@xxxxxxx DocumentRoot /var/www/bar/html ServerName www.bar.com ErrorLog logs/www.bar.com-error_log CustomLog logs/www.bar.com-access_log common ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPassReverseCookiePath /JSPWiki /wiki ProxyPass /wiki http://app1.internal.com:8080/JSPWiki ProxyPassReverse /wiki http://app1.internal.com:8080/JSPWiki ProxyPass /bb http://app1.internal.com/phpBB2 ProxyPassReverse /bb http://app1.internal.com/phpBB2 ProxyPass / http://app1.internal.com/ ProxyPassReverse / http://app1.internal.com/ </VirtualHost> On the internal box (app1.internal.com) I have: NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin admin@xxxxxxx DocumentRoot /var/www/html ServerName www.foo.com ErrorLog logs/www.foo.com-error_log CustomLog logs/www.foo.com-access_log common </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin admin@xxxxxxx DocumentRoot /var/www/bar/html ServerName www.bar.com ErrorLog logs/www.bar.com-error_log CustomLog logs/www.bar.com-access_log common </VirtualHost> My intent was to be able to add virtual hosts to the configuration files of the two servers and not have to setup separate IP Addresses for the virtual hosts to proxy to. When I access http://www.foo.com/wiki, it returns: 404 The requested URL /JSPWiki/ was not found on this server. The log on the proxy server is generating this request which doesn't make any sense since it's being proxied. When I access http://www.foo.com/bb, it returns: 404 The requested URL /phpBB2/ was not found on this server. I'd prefer not to have the reverse proxy pass *everything* through to the back end server that is doing the virtual hosting and then proxy it again. I don't believe this is how it should work, but I need some advice. Again, I was trying to get around having to configure separate DNS Entries for the virtual hosts that sit on the same box. I guess I can go back to this, but I thought this should work. Any insight would be helpful.
