Hi I experience some problem with apache, mod_rewrite and mod_proxy. I get some timeouts that deny access to the server. Here is the error message I get: (70007)The timeout specified has expired: proxy: error reading status line from remote server XXX [Wed Nov 17 11:57:09 2010] [error] [client 130.223.50.57] proxy: Error reading from remote server returned by /YYY/yyy;jsessionid=CB0770CE21131F029565895AC72B921E It happens when I set this particular rule: RewriteRule ^/YYY/yyy(.+) /YYY/yyy$1 [P] To me, this rule doesn't make sense. You are rewriting it to be the same thing as before.
This rule looks weird in my opinion also; but works properly on our development server.
It must be: get the whole URL, but YYY/yyy, and do the mapping. Something like RewriteRule ^/([^YYY/yyy].+) /YYY/yyy$1 [P] The redirection is on the same server, within the same virtual host. http://XXX/?smth would be http://XXX/YYY/yyy?smth (XXX is abc.ch) And both URLs must work.
In fact, I want to mask YYY/yyy in URLs, and create an internal, silent, redirection. e.g.: http://abc.ch/?smth would be in fact http://XXX/YYY/yyy?smth you are reverse proxying from a different host then that host should get mentioned in the rule. E.g NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80? ServerName abc.ch <http://abc.ch> RewriteEngine on RewriteRule / http://XXX/YYY/yyy/ [P,QSA] </VirtualHost> QSA would add the query string from the original URL to the rewritten URL. Maybe I do something wrong. The rule could certainly be more properly written. But on our development server, I don't get the problem (but apache versions and configurations are a bit different). Any idea ?
