hi again, I configured ssl on apache (front-end) to access my backend server (tomcat) using https (https://proxy-->https://backend) The following rewrite rule was working when I used url proxying on non-ssl apache (http://proxy -> https://backend) SSLProxyEngine On SSLProxyCACertificatePath /usr/local/apache2/conf/ssl RewriteRule ^/(abc.*) https://backend:8443/$1 [P,L] The same is not working now if I added these lines to httpd-ssl.conf. Any idea? thanks. __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo! Mail.
