Redirect means: 1) Browser requests http://somehost.com/someurl. 2) Server answers with "this resource is not available here, but is available at http://someotherhost.com/someurl 3) Broswer now requests http://someotherhost.com/someurl. previous host is no longer involved. Proxy means: 1) Browser requests http://somehost.com/someurl. 2) Server is configured to pass this request on to someotherhost.com 3) server gets respons from someotherhost.com 4) server returns respons to browser. Redirecting is done with the directives that start with "Redirect". Proxyin is done using the statements that start with "Proxy". See the manuals. >From your information I guess your situation is the following: - You have Oracle Application server, with an integrated apache 1.3, this is your "backend". - You have an apache 2.2 as your "frontend" The "Frontend" needs to forward requests to the "backend". You have this working for http, but not for https, right? now, my first suggestion would be the following: - If it is your intention to have the "frontend" receive all requests, and forward then to the backend, why not just disable SSL on the backend. Since they appear both on the same machines you really don't need to secure communication between them. - Have your frontend forward both http and https requests to the http port on your backend. This config also makes it possible to run your frontend on the standard http and https ports. Krist -- krist.vanbesien@xxxxxxxxx krist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Bremgarten b.
