Hi there, I set up an apache on a debian lenny. I do have a virtual host that uses the redirect module. Now all access to that virtual host is blocked. only when I alter the config file of the proxy module to allow access from everywhere I can access the site: <IfModule mod_proxy.c> #turning ProxyRequests on and allowing proxying from all may allow #spammers to use your proxy to send email. ProxyRequests Off <Proxy *> AddDefaultCharset off Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from wv.opensourcevista.net Allow from all <------- this I belive is bad </Proxy> # Enable/disable the handling of HTTP/1.1 "Via:" headers. # ("Full" adds the server version; "Block" removes all outgoing Via: headers) # Set to one of: Off | On | Full | Block ProxyVia On </IfModule> now this is for sure wrong. So could somebody please give me a hint what should be in the <Proxy /> stanza? thanks a lot robert here is the virtual host stanza I am using: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName wv.opensourcevista.net ServerAdmin robert@xxxxxxxxx DocumentRoot /var/www/ ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/wv_error.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg.
