Here's what I have for the Apache config of the backend: # file managed by puppet <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName foo ServerAlias foo.dmz.camptocamp.com ServerAlias foo.camptocamp.com # <- proxy hostname ... </VirtualHost> Without the second ServerAlias statement incoming requests with Host:foo.camptocamp.com lead to 404's from Apache. -- Eric Lemoine Camptocamp France SAS Savoie Technolac, BP 352 73377 Le Bourget du Lac, Cedex Tel : 00 33 4 79 44 44 96 Mail : eric.lemo...@camptocamp.com http://www.camptocamp.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-devel" group.
