hi Davide, both apache instances have the basic configuration. They have different port numbers: the main apache is on port 80 and the other 3 instances on 5001, 6001 and 7001. In the main apache (port 80), I added as you suggested: NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName alias1 ProxyPass / http://alias1:5001 ProxyPassReverse / http://alias1:5001 </VirtualHost> but still http://alias1 goes to port 80 while I expect it to go to port 5001. If you insist on the full config files, I will send it to you. thank you. --- On Tue, 16/9/08, Davide Bianchi <davide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: Davide Bianchi <davide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Re: rewrite rules > To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: Tuesday, 16 September, 2008, 2:18 PM > Melanie Pfefer wrote: > > Hi > > > > the DNS already has this alias. > > server = alias1 = alias2 = alias3 > > this is why http://alias1 = http://server > > while I want : http://alias1 = http://server:5001 > (that is another apache on this machine) > > Yes, the last part is done by the VHosts, post your > configuration file. > > Davide > > -- > A distributed system is one in which the failure of a > computer you > didn't even know existed can render your own computer > unusable. > -- Leslie Lamport > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP > Server Project. > See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for > more info. > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > " from the digest: > users-digest-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > For additional commands, e-mail: > users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
