The rewrite logs included in the original post indicate that the proxying does work, so that cannot possibly be the problem. -ascs -----Original Message----- From: Joost de Heer [mailto:sanguis@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, July 07, 2006 9:55 AM To: Ravish Agarwal Cc: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [users@httpd] Re: problem with mod_rewrite rewiterule with [P](internal proxying) >From the manual page: "'proxy|P' (force proxy) This flag forces the substitution part to be internally sent as a proxy request and immediately (rewrite processing stops here) put through the proxy module. 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.
