Followed the instructions from http://www.apachetutor.org/admin/reverseproxies and finally ended up with the new configuration below (this snippet added to the end of the original httpd.conf). However still it doesn't work. Is there any way to debug this code to see what the problem is? LoadFile /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 LoadModule proxy_html_module modules/mod_proxy_html.so ProxyRequests Off ProxyPass /test/ http://192.168.231.1/ ProxyHTMLURLMap http://192.168.231.1 /test <Location /test/> ProxyPassReverse / SetOutputFilter proxy-html ProxyHTMLURLMap / /test/ ProxyHTMLURLMap /test /test RequestHeader unset Accept-Encoding </Location> Thanks, Mohammad -----Original Message----- From: Mohammad Kargar - Indicee Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 8:42 AM To: 'users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: RE: ProxyPass redirects the request Thank you very much. It seems that http://www.apachetutor.org/admin/reverseproxies is the one I need to follow to solve the issue. While I'm doing so, I'd like to ask one more question: My original requirement is to implement a maintenance page. In other words, all I need to do is to display a simple page with a simple message saying that system is down for maintenance when we have to bring down the back-end server. Not sure if setting up a reverse proxy for this purpose is a good idea. Is there any other way to achieve the same goal?

If (as Joshua suggests) you've got a javascript redirect, it can be seriously challenging: you'll need mod_proxy_html's ProxyHTMLExtended (for script embedded in HTML), or one of the sed-like filters (mod_sed, mod_substitute, mod_line_edit) if it's in a separate .js file. -- Nick Kew Application Development with Apache - the Apache Modules Book http://www.apachetutor.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
