Re: [users@httpd] Reverse proxying behind a firewall

["Gregory F. March" <march@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks.... I wound up using mod_rewrite instead, and it works fine:

RewriteRule ^/gallery2/(.*)$  http://apache2.foo.com/gallery2/$1
 [P,L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$           http://apache2.foo.com/gallery2/$1
 [P,L]

Hopefully, the end result of all this work will be to migrate off 1.3 and on to 2.x. I'm stuck with DB upgrade issues at the moment though, since it is a whole new OS as well.

Thanks again!

That's generally what happens when you reverse proxy to a site using a
different base uri ('/' and '/gallery2' in this case). You could make
this a lot easier by using
http://apache13.foo.com:443/gallery2/main.php
.. as the front side url. There's a fine module for apache2.x called
mod_proxy_html which can work around these issues, but that doesn't
help you running 1.3 on the proxy.
