Hello, I am currently setting up a caching reverse proxy server with Apache 2.2 : no problem to configure the reverse proxy, nor to configure data caching. However, as soon as the "source" server is unavailable, the reverse proxy shows errors (service unavailable) instead of serving cached content it already has. I checked up options for the ProxyPass directive, without success. The problem appears with dynamic content but also static content like images that have a far-future Expire header on the source server. My current configuration is (inside a virtual host block) : > ProxyPreserveHost On > ProxyPass / http://backend/ timeout=3 > ProxyPassReverse / http://backend/ > ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain backend public > CacheRoot /home/webcache > CacheEnable disk / > CacheDirLevels 5 > CacheDirLength 3 > CacheIgnoreNoLastMod On > CacheDefaultExpire 3600 > CacheMaxExpire 86400 Does anybody knows how to ask the reverse proxy to serve cached content even when backend server is down ?
