modperl ttssh and port forwarding

[Martin Moss <Ma...@btinternet.com>]

All,

I have a configuration issue, and I was wondering if anybody has had the
same problem?
I have an adsl gateway (192.168.0.1 & external IP) and a seperate webserver
(192.168.0.10) on my home network.
I want to allow a user on the internet access to my webserver.
I have once before configured ttssh (Tera term with ssh extension) to talk
to a machine on an internal LAN of another network that was already
configured to allow ssh forwarding, so I know there is a way to do this,
however I can't seem to get it to work, and I suspect the problem is my
Apache webserver running on port 8088 is refusing the connections.

I have my IE browser on the external machine set to use a proxy server of
localhost:999 and my ttssh is set to forward localhost:999 to
192.168.0.10:8088 and I have succesffully logged into my router. When I try
to browse a webpage in my browser I get an error in my apache webservers
access.log logfile:-

192.168.0.1 - - [08/Dec/2002:19:29:28 +0000] "GET /private/" 403
192.168.0.1 - - [08/Dec/2002:19:29:28 +0000] www.google.com 403

this tells me that my port forwarding has been successful, but my apache is
issuing a 403 forbidden message.

So How do I configure my apache to allow this connection. I have my own
custom authentication mechanism, which covers /private/ but this isn't being
run, apache is refusing the connection before running my access control.

Can anybody provide me with any help or advice?

Kind regards

Marty

All,

sorry for the trouble, I finally worked out the problem,

I didn't have libproxy.so loaded on my 192.168.0.10 machine and the
directive
ProxyRequests On
set.

Now that I do it works fine,

Regards

Marty
