changing server name in HTTP request

[James Godrej <ja...@yahoo.in>]

I am having a website which is being served on my LAN as 
http://internal1.mydomain.com
 the vhost configuration for this is 
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
 ServerName internal1.mydomain.com 
ProxyRequests Off 
         <Proxy *>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
        </Proxy>
ProxyPreserveHost On 

ProxyPass / http://localhost:9090/ 
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:9090/ 

</VirtualHost >

it is working very fine on LAN. I am able to use my application completely from 
LAN.

There is another server which is having public IP and I want this website to be 
available on internet.

A request for public domain comes as

http://www.mypublicdomain.com/something

How do I transfer that internally so that it reaches or is being served by 
http://internal1.mydomain.com
Is it possible to change the ServerName of an HTTP Request in Apache2 
if yes then how?

Hello James,

First of all you have to consider reading online documentation before
asking questions to the mailing lists.

You should put a proxypass rule defining the address
Like this: ProxyPass /something http://tomcatserver:9090/

You need to set the proxy directive on server.xml

<Connector port="8081" ...
              proxyName="www.mycompany.com"
              proxyPort="80"/>
