Redirect limit for this URL exceeded

[teamakesmefart]

Hi All

I have been trying to set up a redirection from an Apache 2 server (Win32) to a Tomcat server (RedHat) - without much luck so far - but with the help of various people on this forum, I think I'm getting closer.

Currently, the Apache 2 server accepts all requests that come in on port 80. It serves requests for domain A itself - and uses a NameVirtualHost directive with a ProxyPass to forward requests for Domain B on to a different URL -

http://serverB:8080/context.

When I navigate to domain A, everything is fine. But when I try to navigate to domain B, I get the error message:

---------------------------------------------------------
Redirect limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page. This may be caused by cookies that are blocked.
---------------------------------------------------------

When I look at the request in the Apache 2's access log, I see the requests with a 403 Forbidden status.

I have cookie settings set to allow all - so its not that.

Can anybody help out - this is driving me scatty!


Many thanks

Cracked it! Just needed a / on the end of the ProxyPass line - so it becomes

ProxyPass /

http://serverB:8080/context/

Doh! Thanks to Siberian and EricBrunson who put me on the right track earlier in my quest!


Cheers

Does this also apply to ProxyPassReverse? Is the / required on the end of all URLs?

Hi Xor

Yes, it would appear that you need the slash on the end of the ProxyPassReverse URLs as well.
