Hi
I'm trying to setup apache to proxy traffic into web2py. I've followed the
instructions I can find but I'm getting problems.
I've got the following in my apache config
ProxyRequests off
<location />
ProxyPass http://localhost:8000
ProxyPassReverse /
</location>
Which is successfully redirecting from localhost port 80 to web2py on port
8000.
root@web2py:~# curl localhost -v
* About to connect() to localhost port 80 (#0)

You are being redirected <a href="/welcome/default/index">here</a>
The problem is the redirection fails

For some messing up the hostname and trying to redirect to a host that
doesn't exist.
This is on a newly installed Ubuntu box and web2py is working fine when
just accessed on port 8000.
Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong?
Thanks
Robin
