[users@httpd] Couple of questions about rewrite and proxypass
Hi,
i am trying to get http binding to work for jwchat and openfire and i found some examples and would like to make sure i understand couple of things:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName myserver.com
DocumentRoot "C:/apache2/htdocs/"
<Directory "C:/apache2/htdocs/">
Options +Indexes +MultiViews
</Directory>
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule http-bind/ http://myserver.com/http-bind/
</VirtualHost>
ProxyPass /http-bind/ http://127.0.0.1:8080/http-bind/
So what RewriteRule here is doing is when it detects "http-bind/" it will direct me to "http://myserver.com/http-bind/"? and when ProxyPass detects the "/http-bind/" it will try to direct me to "http://127.0.0.1:8080/http-bind/" ?
couple of questions...
1. when I entered "http://myserver.com/http-bind/" i ended up in the same URL though - is that what should happen?
2. is RewrieRule neccessary here? if i just enter http://myserver.com/http-bind/ directly wouldnt it bypass it? I am a bit confused here..
thanks...

Nick,
what would that RewriteRule coupled with the proxypass do?
With proxypass you said if my application is there - so
ProxyPass /http-bind/ http://127.0.0.1:8080/http-bind/
means when I go on myserver.com/http-bind/ it will redirect me to http:127.0... right?

Heh. niq is so shocked, he forgot to link his own manual:

I don't think that can be repeated often enough ;)

Now that makes sense (if your app is there), though perhaps you meant to put it
inside the virtualhost. You may need something more, but whatever you need
it's not mod_rewrite!
