I am running a Ndaemon web server at the default port 3000 and I am trying to achieve something:
when people type http://webmail.myserver.com apache should be used as proxy and somewhat "pipe" it through to the mailserver's webserver on port 3000. Ndaemon's website had something but it didn't work. Can somebody help? |

if you have installed PHP and it is an webinterface
create a index.php in the webroot from webmail.myserver.com
| Code: |
<?php
header("Location: http://myserver.com:3000/");
?>

| But this will redirect the person to the server, won't it? Will it be transparent to the user? I would like to creat a virtual server, that would proxy and invisibly act as proxy between the user on his internet browser and the port 3000 on my server without him realizing that he is actually on that port. |

In your case
| Code: |
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass / http://myserver:3000
|
From a client perspective, a reverse proxy looks just like a standard Web server. It doesn't require any special configuration to
operate (and if it did, it wouldn't be anywhere near as useful). The only real requirement is to ensure the forward proxy is
switched off, which is done using the ProxyRequests directive:ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass /marketing http://marketing.mcslp.com
ProxyPassReverse /marketing http://marketing.mcslp.com
You can also stop subdirectories of a directory being passed through by using an exclamation mark (!) as the destination URL. For
example, to reverse proxy /marketing, but not /marketing/contact you would use:
ProxyPass /marketing/contact !
ProxyPass /marketing http://marketing.mcslp.com |
