Hi, I posted a question here yesterday is mentioned about redirect a domain name with /abc to external ip of web server.
Now I can made sure that I should use the rewrite module to achieve this issues. But I don't know how can I enable this function in my apache web server. I will post my httpd.conf for your reference.
Please help, thank you so much.

Any body know how to do it?

Why there is nobody answer me?

I want to redirect only the domain name with m.domain.com/abc to external ip 123.123.123.123/abc.
I really need your help. Thank you.

Hello, anybody can help me?

Hi,

You should not bump your thread every 5min. When someone knows the answer to your question he will answer.

Anyway you can use either Redirect or mod_rewrite. In your case Redirect is the simplest way to go:

Thanks, bathory.
I want to know where should I put this statment

Code:
Redirect /abc http://123.123.123.123/abc

Because I need to redirect the domain m.domain.com/abc to external ip address http://123.123.123.123/abc, I already setup the Virtual Host of m.domain.com in httpd.conf. Should I put this statement in side <VhostXXX> of m.domain.com or inside the <Directory> of <Vhost> of m.greenpeace.com?

Thanks so much.

You should put it inside the vhost m.domain.com definition.
If you think this is going to be permanent you can use:

bathory, thanks your quickly reply. I still have one question, If I just want the end user display the http://m.domain.com/abc in there browser address bar instead of to show http://123.123.123.123/abc. How can I do for it?

You can use any of the following:

One way to do this, is to use frames in /abc/index.html. The main frameset and a zero-length frame should reside on your server and the main frame should point to http://123.123.123.123/abc. This way the address bar will show your server url.

Another way to do this is to use the vhost m.domain.com as a reverse proxy for /abc to http://123.123.123.123/abc. You'll need mod_proxy for this

Great, Thansk so much. I can redirect it now. But I want to know how can I use mod_proxy for a reverse proxy for /abc for http://123.123.123.123/abc for my vhost m.domain.com?

Basically you'll need to load the relevant apache proxy modules and use something like:
Take a look here for more details.

hi bathory, I tried to use the code as you gave me:
ProxyPass /abc httpd://123.123.123.123/abc
ProxyPassReverse /abc http://123.123.123.123/abc
in my Vhost section and restart the httpd, then I received the below error:
Invalid command 'ProxyPass', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Then I tired to load the module by add LoadModule for mod_proxy.so and mod_proxy_http.so to my httpd.conf then restart it and receive the below error:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache-2.0.54_SSL_WEBDAV_REWRITE/modules/mod_proxy.http.so into server: /usr/local/apache-2.0.54_SSL_WEBDAV_REWRITE/modules/mod_proxy.http.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So what can I do to enable the ProxyPass can work for my web server?
Thank you so much for your help.

It looks like you don't have mod_proxy installed. To verify if that's the case run:
You should tell us your distro and how did you install apache, so we could suggest a way to add the missing modules.
BTW from the log you've posted it looks like you have compiled apache from source (because it's installed under /usr/loca/apache-2.0.54_SSL_WEBDAV_REWRITE).

Hi bathory, when I ran the code from the above you gave me then I got the error:
In fact, this apache is not installed by me. So I don't know how it is installed, but I think it is installed by compile the source as you said. Because the path of the httpd is not the default path.
I am using the apache v 2.0.53 and running it in Fedora release 3.
What can I do now to check it is the proxy installed properly in my web sever?
Thank you for your help.
