[users@httpd] Folder Redirect to backend Web Server Question
Hello All:
I am hoping someone will be able to help me. Here is what I am trying
to do. I have Front-End web server running Redhat Linux 8.0 running
Apache 2.0. This is what I am trying to do:
Using this address, http://www.dc-marion.ohio-state.edu/Arabic, I would
like to redirect the folder Arabic to get its data from a backend Web
server using http://www3.dc-marion.ohio-state.edu. Is there a way to
redirect the folder "Arabic" on the front-end server to get its data
from the backend server? I don't want the client to know that the data
is coming from the backend-server. I would like the client to see
http://www/dc-marion.ohio-state.edi/arabic.
Please help.
Thanks.
Gary Shadley

No, this isn't what he is looking for. He specifies that he doesn't want
the client to see the backend server. In that case, the frontend server
needs to grab the data and return it to the client. That is called a
reverse proxy. See the docs for mod_proxy.
It will look something like this (in httpd.conf):
ProxyPass /Arabic/ http://www3.dc-marion.ohio-state.edu/
ProxyPassReverse /Arabic/ http://www3.dc-marion.ohio-state.edu/

The Redirect mod_alias directive allows you to redirect a URI to a
different URL:
Redirect /Arabic http://www3.dc-marion.ohio-state.edu/
see here for more info:
