configure reverse proxy and apache2

Hello,

I inherited an apache reverse proxy server. I've added a new entry, but the proxy server isn't working. The configurations are:

# this works
<VirtualHost host1.domain.com:80>

AddType application/x-x509-ca-cert .crt
AddType application/x-pkcs7-crl .crl

##### PROXY #####
ProxyRequests off
ProxyPass / http://192.168.18.41/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.18.41/
##### END PROXY #####

</VirtualHost>

# this doesn't
<VirtualHost host2.domain.com:80>

AddType application/x-x509-ca-cert .crt
AddType application/x-pkcs7-crl .crl

##### PROXY #####
ProxyRequests off
ProxyHTMLLogVerbose On
Loglevel Debug
ProxyPass / http://192.168.18.47/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.18.47/
##### END PROXY #####

</VirtualHost>

Does host2.domain.com resolv to that apace server? Have you restarted apache since the config change? Have you tried an /etc/hosts entry on the client for host2.domain.com.

yes, host2.domain.com resolves to that apache server. Yes, I have started the apache server since the config change.

re: the client & /etc/hosts. if by client, you mean the one that is going to access http://host2.domain.com ... that's not a good idea since it needs to be accessible by people outside of the company. If you mean the /etc/hosts file of the server ... no I haven't done that. hosts2.domain.com * I just tried it and that
was it. thanks!
