Hello Joshua, I suspect also that the backend server (a tomcat) is not accepting this redirection. Actually, the 2 rewrite rules follow the same basics but in the first rewrite rule, the backend server is a java servlet. Do you think that additional configuration needs to be done on tomcat side not apache? thanks binches --- Joshua Slive <joshua@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Fri, Mar 28, 2008 at 3:31 AM, Melanie Pfefer > <melanie_pfefer@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hello, > > > > on testserver(IP address y.y.y.y), I enabled > logging > > to debug mode. > > > > httpd.conf has: > > > > RewriteEngine On > > RewriteRule ^/(OpenFile.*) http://zeus:9000/$1 > [P,L] > > RewriteRule ^/(.*gqaf:soi:PAR:TRE.*) > > http://zeus:8080/gqaf-web/$1 [P,L] > > > > RewriteLog "/usr/local/apache2/logs/rewrite.log" > > RewriteLogLevel 9 > > > > > > If I access > > http://testserver/gqaf:soi:PAR:TRE:0000001, I get > 2 > > frames but with no content > > > > access.log > > y.y.y.y - - [28/Mar/2008:08:26:09 +0100] "GET > > /gqaf-web/css/stylesheet.css HTTP/1.0" 404 225 > > y.y.y.y - - [28/Mar/2008:08:26:09 +0100] "GET > > /tree.jsp?uri=gqaf:soi:PAR:TRE:0000001 HTTP/1.0" > 404 > > 206 > > y.y.y.y - - [28/Mar/2008:08:26:10 +0100] "GET > > /content.jsp HTTP/1.0" 404 209 > > I'm not going to go through your logs in detail, but > it certainly > looks like the problem is links on the back-end > server that break out > of the reverse proxy namespace.
