Putting ProxyPreserveHost On before the Rewrites works as expected (turns it on), but when I put the ProxyPreserveHost Off command before the ProxyPass lines, it has no effect, ProxyPreserveHost appears to still be on. It's as if the directive is ignored. Is this the correct behaviour? The docs are not real clear on this point and there are no entries in bugzilla. Thanks! David f.Hit send too soon, here are the details: Apache 2.2.2 <VirtualHost 192.168.107.37> ServerName www.domain.com DocumentRoot /data/domain <IfDefine REVERSE_PROXY> ProxyPreserveHost On RewriteCond %{LA-U:SCRIPT_FILENAME} \.spy$ [NC] RewriteRule .* http://192.168.107.37:8080%{REQUEST_URI} [P,L] ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.107.37:8080/ # ProxyPreserveHost Off <--- Uncommenting this causes apache to always redirect back to domain.com! </IfDefine> <IfModule mod_proxy.c> ProxyRequests Off ProxyPass /fr/forum/ http://forums_fr.domain.com/ ProxyPassReverse /fr/forum/ http://forums_fr.domain.com/ ProxyPass /en/forum/ http://forums_en.domain.com/ ProxyPassReverse /en/forum/ http://forums_en.domain.com/ </IfModule> </VirtualHost> forums_en.domain.com and forums_fr are hosts in a private IP space that is only accessible from the web server. They are defined in the webserver's hosts file.You can't turn it on and off within a virtual host - it's either on or off, end of story. I have encountered this and worked around it by using a second virtual server which does preserve the host name, called by the first which doesn't but it's not pretty and I wouldn't recommend it unless strictly necessary. It would be nice to be able to explicitly set the Host: header but that appears to be overwritten when the request is proxied. HTH, Neil.
Thanks for the info. That is something that might want to be added to the docs for the sake of
clarity.We ended up solving the problem by adding domain.com as a server alias to the proxied server's
virtual host. Again maybe not the cleanest, but it works.
