Re: using Apache server as proxy. (Apache Users)

Thank you for your replies.

Sander, X-Forwarded-For will not work for me. I need a way to configure apache server to route the request to the jboss, which should not know nor care how the request is passed to it.

William, sorry I didn't quite understand how should I fix port and/or ProxyPassReverse. The documentation is very confusing and this is my first exposure to apache. If you could give me some instruction here, I would appreciate it.

It looks like my initial message went out without the code I have in http-vhosts.conf. Here is what I have inside VirtualHost tag:
ProxyPreserveHost On
ServerName floridamakler.no-ip.info
ProxyPass / http://192.168.2.100:7070/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.2.100:7070/
I hope you could tell me an alternate way of creating this configuration.

What I think is happening is that your app reports it's address at
92.168.2.100 - but you told it to fix ONLY address:7070 - fix that
or fix the ProxyPassReverse statement. And remember it's only fixing
headers - your CONTENT won't be corrected (mod_proxy_html can do that.)
