[users@httpd] open proxy
Hi,
Whenever I try to connect to the freenode irc server
I am rejected saying that I have a open proxy running on machine on port
80. On port 80 apache is running. Is it possible that apache is acting
like a proxy? I am not that familar with apache and use it just for
webmail client and publishing logs.
I read through some docs and found that ProxyRequests might be the key
to my problem. Upon doing some greping on the machine (Mandrake 9.2) I
found,
# pwd
/etc/httpd/conf.d
# grep -ir ProxyRequest *
30_mod_proxy.conf:ProxyRequests Off
It is set to Off. What is wrong then? Are there some more parameters
required?
Thanks a lot in advance and waiting eagerly for some input on this.
With warm regards,
-Payal

I don't know how Mandrake sets up its apache conf files, but are you sure
you looked through all of them? Have you tried disabling mod_proxy
entirely?
You can easily est if your server is really an open proxy simply by
pointing your own browser-proxy configuration at it, or by doing:
telent yourserver 80
GET http://www.yahoo.com/ HTTP/1.0
Host: www.yahoo.com
and see if you get back yahoo or your own homepage.
