More info on my reverse proxy cgi problem: Here is a line of what I presume is the error log entry on the main server for the cgi error I am getting: [Thu Jul 12 11:57:21 2007] [error] [client 192.168.2.2] client denied by server configuration: /apache$root/cgi-bin/cgi_main So something is telling me that the server configuration is set to deny the client (the apache reverse proxy?) access to the cgi-bin? The httpd.conf does have this entry: <Directory "/apache$root/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options None Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 10.2.1.0/24 </Directory> However this app runs from any client (browser) just fine. Is it possible that I need to write the proxy heard to appear to be coming from the 10 network for this to work? The error log does indicate that the reverse proxy is a 192 address. Also basic first question I should ask: Am I correct in thinking that the proxy is transparent to cgi apps running on the main server, cgi does not have to be running on the reverse proxy to make this work.
