Subject: [users@httpd] Apache 1.3 as a Proxy


Hi

I have been using Apache for quite a while, but only as a mere web server.
I would now like to use it as a Proxy, but don't seem to be able to do that.

Current httpd.conf config :

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
AddModule mod_proxy.c

<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
    ProxyRequests On
    <Directory proxy:*>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
    ProxyVia On
</IfModule>

I then configured another PC to use this machine as proxy, on port 80,
called "http://www.cnn.com" and got a message from apache saying that I had
no permission to access that URL.
What am I missing or doing absolutely wrong ?


Thanks
Luis

Yes, it is.

The proxy machine, my home desktop, has an ADSL connection to the Internet,
which works fine.
The purpose is to connect a laptop, without using wireless, and keeping all
the security levels I have, to avoid "connection sharing".

Is DNS working on your proxy machine?

Thanks !!


Apache version 1.3.23 (old, I know)

The proxy module is loaded, and the proxy directives too.

The question is : is there something missing ?
If on a client I point to this machine, on port 80, and try to hit a URL, I get this error

Proxy Error
The proxy server could not handle the request GET http://www.cnn.com/.

Reason: Host not found

! ######################################################################################

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so

AddModule mod_proxy.c

# Proxy Server directives. Uncomment the following lines to
# enable the proxy server:
<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
    ProxyRequests On

    <Directory proxy:*>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
    ProxyVia On

</IfModule>
# End of proxy directives.

Which version of httpd? Did you load proxy_http?
