Re: creating a proxy

[Etienne <etienne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

yes, I want to do that. However my client is a windows XP machine. thus I have to use putty

apparently this port forwarding is working well

I have a silly question : how can I configure apache to work as a proxy without cancelling my current web hosting ?

I am only using virtual hosts for hosting and not sure to understand what is the other way of doing ;-)

thanks

Simplest way is to forget trying to get apache to do that for you, and
just let SSH do it for you, seeing as you can SSH to that box ok.

ssh -D 3128 <yourproxybox>

and then setup firefox to use 127.0.0.1:3128 as a SOCKS proxy.

The reason apache is probably not working is that it never uses that
vhost for the request. Does it work if you don't use vhosts?
