[users@httpd] mod_rewrite on Windows with Apache 2.2
I have Apache 2.2 working perfectly on my Linux installation and now I am
trying to set up a copy on my Windows box for development.
Everything works fine except rewriting of URLs.
I have searched and searched online, but every guide and forum says
something different. The information is poorly organized and I can't seem to
find a simple answer.
Here is the basic problem:
I have installed Apache 2.2 for Windows with the default configuration,
nothing fancy. I set up some virtual hosts, they are detected and work fine.
I can view my pages, etc.
Now I want to add URL rewriting for one of my hosts.
I added my rules and directive to the virtual host (these work fine on
Linux):
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8009/
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ ajp://localhost:8009/$1 [P]
But when trying to start Apache after doing this I get an error that the
service failed to start.
So, I uncommented this line in my httpd.conf:
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
But that didn't change anything. I still get the error and can't start
Apache when my directives are present.
I've read all over about .htaccess files, etc, but I don't have any
references to that in my httpd.conf other than this:
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess
files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride None
I changed AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All but this also did not
allow Apache to start.
So, with a default installation of Apache 2.2 on Windows, what is the
simplest, most straight-forward way to enable URL rewriting to add the rules
I want?
Please don't send me to a bunch of links or guides online or the start page
for Apache's mod_rewrite section, I have this working fine on Linux, I just
need to know how to enable the exact same functionality on Windows. I've
been looking for hours now. :)
Thanks!

Don't know if this could be the problem (and it may even differ by
version/configuration), but for my own local webservers (apache 2.2.11
on ubuntu and whatever comes with os x 10.5) the leading slash after
the ^ should not be used in the regex.

Did you check for a specific error in the Event Log?

You don't want to use mod_rewrite for such a simple reverse proxy by
mod_proxy. Use the directive ProxyPass instead. You'll need mod_proxy
and mod_proxy_ajp (you'll need them as well if you're using
mod_rewrite).
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/
ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8009/

I thought we're talking about the main server configuration file
(httpd.conf) and not a per-directory configuration file?!
