Topic: Beginner prblms configuring reverse proxy using _proxy_html

[srasane]

Hi,

I have searched this user group for a simple sample that involves proxying an entire internal website using mod_proxy and mod_proxy_html, but did not find anything. I might just be dumb and the first to not be succesful in doing everything from the help page: http://apache.webthing.com/mod_proxy_html/config.html

Look I simply want to know how to achieve the following:
Objective: test mod_proxy to reverse proxying as it says it does
test: on local install of apache (httpd-2.2.8-win32-x86-ssl) and mod_proxy_html (mod_proxy_html-3.0.0-w32) to proxy www.google.com.au.

e.g. client calls up: http://localhost:8080/google -> brings up www.google.com.au and user can surf google through this portal


Result: Even without mod_proxy_html, the above works with simply mod_proxy_http etc.
ProxyPass /google/ http://www.google.com.au/
ProxyPassReverse /google/ http://www.google.com.au/

Issue (HELP!!):

The above does not rewrite links. I tried using mod_proxy_html like following:
Attempt 1:
ProxyHTMLURLMap http://www.google.com.au http://localhost:8080/google/
- With the above, the page loads, but the links are still not correct. for eg. the image does not load and it points to "http://localhost:8080/intl/en_au/images/logo.gif"

Attempt 2:
Not sure why the following ends up with "unable to load page" on browser and the url in browser changes to http://www.localhost.com:8080/google/

<Location /google/>
ProxyPassReverse /
SetOutputFilter proxy-html
ProxyHTMLURLMap /google /
RequestHeader unset Accept-Encoding
</Location>

Please help

Hi James Blond,

Thanks for the response.
I copied your settings in to my httpd.conf and tried with no success.

In fact as before http://localhost:8080/google did not load google.
when i commented your Location section, I got it to work but still without the google image coming through. I spent a day trying to work out why that would be, but i cannot figure out. on command line :
D:\Apache2\bin>httpd -t -D DUMP_MODULES

There are no specific logs from this module despite setting "LogLevel info" and "ProxyHTMLLogVerbose On"

Please help.

All I had to do was use the settings you gave with a forward slash at the end of each "/google", like below and it works as expected :-)
