[users@httpd] Problem solved was Re: [users@httpd] Problem configuring proxy (forbidden error locally)
Hi,
We figured out the problem.
As mentioned earlier, we were using the Redhat Apache 2.0.52 (httpd) RPM.
Apparently, that doesn't come with mod_ssl support (either built-in or DSO), but we had the ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse directives pointing to SSO/https URLs, i.e., the Apache2 had no support for SSL at all.
We modified the ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse directives to point to non-SSL URLs, and that eliminated the 403/Forbidden errors.
So, the bottom line was that pointing the ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse to SSL URLs, when the Apache didn't have SSL support, causes Apache2 to respond with 403/Forbidden responses...
Thanks,
Jim
