Topic: Apache Proxy and DirectoryIndex

[DPGrose]

I have a rails app running on an Apache 2.2.9 installed on a Win2003 server. The issue that I have is that when I try to access the www.tiresourcelink.com website I get the index.html page instead of
the demologin.html page. If I enter in www.tiresourcelink.com/demologin then the correct page is accessed. I am not seeing any errors in the log files.
Below is the httpd.conf and the httpd-vhosts.conf files. Any help would be appreciated.

Your reverse proxy shows only the result of http://www.tiresourcelink.com:3002/
So you have to change on that server the DirectoryIndex.

From the HTTP Header I can see that you use WEBrick as ruby server. I'm not used to that.

[DPGrose]

Yes, that is correct. What I am trying to do is mask the port address of the Webrick server. Instead of seeing www.tirecourcelink.com:3002\login\login\demo, I want the client to see www.tiresourcelink.com\login\login\demo.
The client should be seeing the demologin.html file and get redirected to the \login\login\demo path. Everything seems to work fine except that www.tiresourcelink.com is reading the index.html file instead of the demologin.html and both files are in the same directory d:\webdcm1\public.
I cannot understand why the index.html file is being call instead of the demologin.html file. The DocumentRoot and DirectoryIndex are pointing to the correct path and file name.

Below is the demologin.html:

Please take a look at http://ruby-doc.org/core/classes/WEBrick/Config.html
There is a config part for DirectoryIndex.
I think it should be configure able. Else out the meta refresh into index.html
