Re: Reverse Proxy URL confuion.

I think you may be right I've tried to put  a  ProxyHTMLURLMap in the 

configuration, it seems like all I need to do is remove one part of the 

url, from one file but so far It hasn't had any effect.

       ServerName application.mydomain.com

       ProxyRequests Off

        <Proxy *>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
        </Proxy>

        ProxyPreserveHost On
        ProxyPass / http://IPaddresshere/
        ProxyPassReverse /  http://IPaddress/

The application root is http://IPaddress/application I'd like the URL 

http://application.mydomain.com to open the application login

The configuration above works if I open 

http://application.mydomain.com/application.

I'd like to eliminate the  /application

If in <VirtualHost>I add

ProxyPass /http://IPaddress/application/

I get the login but subsequently I get

http://application.mydomain.com/application/file.aspx

It sounds like the application is generating an absolute link that you
need to rewrite with mod_proxy_html, as mentioned in the
ProxyPassReverse documentation:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassreverse
