Intro to caching proxy web server

[dkuhlio]

Hello
I want to create a caching web server that will "mirror" several of our web servers through one IP address. Thus creating one point of entry. I want the outside world to only see one address. I want this proxy server to serve the content from the web servers behind it.

I am testing this on a Sparc 20 running Solaris 8, with Apache 1.3.9.

I have followed instructions that I found on the web:
-installed the binary
-verified that the proxy module is compiled with the binary that I downloaded from apache.org.
-in the httpd.conf file:
-LoadModule proxy_module is uncommented
-AddModule is uncommented
-uncommented the IfModule mod_proxy.c section
-I left everything as the default
-I added ProxyPass, and ProxyPassReverse statements
-Stop and start the server after all changes.

This is not working for me.

I am not sure if I am using the proper directive or if I am even using it properly. I could use some guidance for a beginner.

Hi,

Did you also do :

ProxyRequests On

Thats needed for both forward and reverse proxying.
