I did not say your config is wrong, just that it's hard to understand why it works from my limited understanding of apache's config. Seems like the [L] flag of your last rewrite rule prevents mod_proxy from following the ProxyPass / directive (which, standing for itself, simply says 'proxy everything to mongrel'). > > As I said before I'm not an apache expert, but your last rule looks > like misuse of mod_rewrite. Isn't it like that last rewrite rule does > what ProxyPass + ProxyPassReverse are supposed to do ? Yes, that was what I wanted to point out - that one line does what your Proxy* directives do. As the [P] flag is officially documented [1], I don't think it's use should be called misuse ;-) As your setup works, too, it seems to be more a question of personal preference...
