Many thanks for the help, and some excellent reading :-) However ... I am still getting inconsistant results, both myself and my testing off-site people.
Have I done it correctly ? Code below. I am wondering ... I am proxy-ing to an IIS with its default file set (index.htm). Is my directory listing restrictions comflicting with those on the IIS server. For instance ... A lookup of http://egshs.wa.edu.au/weather/index.htm works perfectly, whereas http://egshs.wa.edu.au/weather seems to fail dismally :-( Regards Peter # ----------------------------------------------------------------- # -- PdeG changed this HostnameLookups off # --- PdeG # <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName egshs.wa.edu.au ServerAlias www.egshs.wa.edu.au DocumentRoot /mnt/hd/website UseCanonicalName On </VirtualHost> <Directory "/mnt/hd/website"> Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews DirectoryIndex index.html AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> # RewriteEngine on # RewriteRule /weather$ weather/ [R] ProxyRequests off ProxyPass /weather http://ms-weather.egshs.local ProxyPassReverse /weather http://ms-weather.egshs.local # # Peter de Groot System Administrator Eastern Goldfields Senior High School Kalgoorlie 6430 Mob: 0418915312 -----Original Message----- From: Boyle Owen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 19 May 2005 5:55 PM To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: RE: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newbie query about proxypass > -----Original Message----- > From: de Groot, Peter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Donnerstag, 19.

However, you can avoid the problem entirely by setting ServerName and UseCanonicalName correctly. If you do this, apache will make a self-referential URL automatically and you won't need to bother with mod_rewrite - see http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/server-wide.html#identification for details. > ProxyRequests off > ProxyPass /weather http://ms-weather.egshs.local/ > ProxyPassReverse /weather http://ms-weather.egshs.local/ Your use of trailing slashes is inconsistent here. Either: ProxyPass /weather/ http://ms-weather.egshs.local/ or: ProxyPass /weather http://ms-weather.egshs.local (use / on both paths or neither). However, this doesn't really matter - your setup will just lead to a proxy request to http://ms-weather.egshs.local//some-file which still works...
