[users@httpd] mod_rewrite on 2.0.50

[Sai Jai Ganesh Gurubaran <sg...@cordys.com>]

Hi,
I am a newbie.
We have set up Apache 2.0.50 as a forward proxy.
Want to redirect a particular (external) page to our internal page.
i.e. for  http://www.abc.com/suggestions.htm to
http://myanotherserver/suggestion.htm

For this I tried mod_rewrite.
The following code in the httpd.conf


#Apache as a Proxy
ProxyRequests On

RewriteEngine On
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteLog rewrite.log
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.abc.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/suggestions.htm
RewriteRule ^(.+) http://myanotherserver/suggestion.htm [L,R]


The problem here is:
	1. if Proxy is not present then mod_rewrite rules are applied
(seen through the log). Since Proxy is not there we don't get the
content :(
	2. If proxy is on, rewrite rules are not applied but
http://www.abc.com/suggestions.htm content is fetched

Am I missing out some thing? (it has to be)

I tried the same with 2.2.3 and it works smooth (with ProxyRequests On).
But we need to make this work on 2.0.50

Any help will be highly appreciated 

Regards,
Sai

Why such an old version?

That's a reverse proxy.

If that's open to the outside, it's a serious security hole.
