You must make sure that the substitution string is a valid URI (typically starting with http://hostname) which can be handled by the Apache proxy module. If not, you will get an error from the proxy module. Use this flag to achieve a more powerful implementation of the ProxyPass directive, to map remote content into the namespace of the local server. Note: mod_proxy must be enabled in order to use this flag." Besides mod_proxy, you need the protocol specific submodules too. If you're reverse proxying to http, add mod_proxy_http, if you're proxying to https, load mod_ssl and enable ssl proxying (SSLProxyEngine on) (and for 2.2, if you're proxying to ajp, you need mod_proxy_ajp) Joost --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
