Thanks for the help, but what I am using are test pages at the moment. So it would be better if I could get mod_proxy_html to work so that things will go well when the front end server is deployed and I may not be around if other servers need to be proxied. I'm willing to put the time in to get it to work!

The html pages are not mine to modify, though I will ask about it!

you blatantly do not understand what I'm saying. Please re read my comments as you've read them wrong.

look at the html code to see what pages are being requested - you said things were broken, go work out why and how to PROXY so that they are not broken.

do not rewrite the html unless it is UTTERLY unavoidable.

Thanks for your help. I will do just that!

It works now! All I had to do was put a / after the site names on ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse in the 000-default file:

<VirtualHost *:80>

ProxyRequests Off

ProxyPass /site1/ http://192.168.0.2
ProxyPassReverse /site1/ http://192.168.0.2

ProxyPass /site2/ http://192.168.0.3
ProxyPassReverse /site2/ http://192.168.0.3

The problem I am now having is how to make it so that you can enter in the url as http://192.168.0.2/site1 without the final /.

http://192.168.0.2/site1 will not load the page but http://192.168.0.2/site1/ works perfectly when entered in a web browser to reach the site.

How can I make this work?

Starting new thread

well don't require the last / in the ProxyPass request of course!


ProxyPass /site1 http://192.168.0.2

Using the following configuration the server still doesn't return the images when the final "/" is left out of the url in a web browser. When the final "/" is included images load fine.

This is what I have configured in 000-default now:

<VirtualHost *:80>

ProxyRequests Off

ProxyPass /site1 http://192.168.0.2/
ProxyPassReverse /site1 http://192.168.0.2/

ProxyPass /site2 http://192.168.0.3/
ProxyPassReverse /site2 http://192.168.0.3/

where did images come into the equation? as above, if you just have issues with individual objects on a page, look at the source to see what's being requested for more information to help you.

All I want to do is make it so that if I don't include the "/" at the end of the address when entered in a web browser, I'll still get the page to display. When the "/" is included at the end it works perfectly! Images load just fine.

192.168.0.2/site1 = No Images
192.168.0.2/site1/ = Images

Why? This is the only problem I'm having. I don't see what looking at the html will do for me considering it works when the "/" is included at at the end of the url.

Sorry!

I have an html doc that points to these links without problem. It is the index.html file.

<a href=http://192.168.0.2/site1/>Site1</a>

FQDN's in the code? Yuck!

It's very unclear what is not working, one minute it's the "page" and then it's "images". if you have a page and the *PAGE* has successfully loaded, but you have broken content on the page, then clearly there is a difference between how you're calling the page, and how the page is referring to the images.

Where you have no images, I would guess that if you look at the code you'll see something like "<img src=bob.gif />" And in this case, the request that ends up going to the back end server would be site1bob.gif compared to site1/bob.gif. Does this finally show why you should be actually LOOKING at what is being requested?? Are you looking in the log files on the back ends to see a pile of 404s?

The problem that I am currently having is that the images on the page only load when the url is typed in as http://192.168.0.2/site1/ and not http://192.168.0.2/site1. Everything else is working perfectly. I created an index.html file that points to these FQDNs with the full url, and that works perfectly. All I have to do is type http://192.168.0.2 into the web browser and I can reach each site without trouble using links.

I would like to be able to reach these sites by typing http://192.168.0.2/site1 into the web browser. This will not work. Only when I enter http://192.168.0.2/site1/ into the web browser does it work. I don't understand why?

This is one of the Image file I am trying to get to work:
<img name='rtmc_image' alt='rtmc_image' src='.?command=Image&screen=Current' border='0' usemap='#imagemap'>

I just don't understand. Even if I knew what was being requested, I wouldn't know what to do with it...

Ignore everything else I have posted in this thread!!

Sorry for the trouble!!

This?..

Name:
/?command=Image&screen=Current&image_id=1337709327980

Method:
GET

Status:
200
OK

Type:
image/jpge

Initiator:
rtmc.js:36

Size:
110.57KB
110.28KB

Time:
679ms
27ms

right, so "src=.?command=Image&screen=Current" leads to a request for either http://192.168.0.2/site1/.?command=Image&screen=Current OR http://192.168.0.2/site1.?command=Image&screen=Current the latter of which is therefore illegal as I suggested.

Sticking with ProxyPass only, just put both in:

they are used in the order that they are listed, so requests for just "/site1" will match the second, others will match the second.

Alternatively, you can try a little bit of mod_rewrite:
before the proxypass
so when a request for just the /site1 uri comes in, apache adds a slash and then off it goes to the other server with a slash on the end.

Thanks again for the help. The first example didn't work for me though and I don't have mod_rewrite. I tried to enable it with a2enmod mod_rewrite, but it says it doesn't exist. What would I have to download?

I'll keep working on it.
Thanks!

You really don't have it? It's a totally standard apache module, a normal install always has it. It's probably not enabled by default, but it really should be there.
