LinuxQuestions.org - need to proxy certain webpages to another port for php5 instance

There are a couple ways to do this.

First would be to simply use a rewrite rule to tack on the corrected port. Something like this in .htaccess or the <VirtualHost> section:

Code:

RewriteEngine On

# Redirect to alt port

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://your.domain.com:8080/$1 [R,L]

Replace 8080 with your alternate port, and your.domain.com with, obviously, your domain.

Another method is to use mod_proxy and set up a reverse proxy. This is what you want to do if you need to run both instances, php4 and php5, and don't want visitors to see the alternate port in the URL.

Something like this, once you've installed and enabled mod_proxy:

Code:

ProxyRequests Off



<Proxy *>

Order deny,allow

Allow from all

</Proxy>



# Then add the following to the <VirtualHost> section of the site...



ProxyPass /foo http://foo.example.com:8080/bar

ProxyPassReverse /foo http://foo.example.com:8080/bar

Here's an excellent howto, although probably more thorough than you need.
