[users@httpd] what should be in the proxy directive

[robert rottermann]

Hi there,

I set up an apache on a debian lenny.
I do have a virtual host that uses the redirect module.

Now all access to that virtual host is blocked.
only when I alter the config file of the proxy module to allow access from
everywhere I can access the site:
<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
        #turning ProxyRequests on and allowing proxying from all may allow
        #spammers to use your proxy to send email.

        ProxyRequests Off

        <Proxy *>
                AddDefaultCharset off
                Order deny,allow
                Deny from all
                Allow from wv.opensourcevista.net
                Allow from all <------- this I belive is bad
        </Proxy>

        # Enable/disable the handling of HTTP/1.1 "Via:" headers.
        # ("Full" adds the server version; "Block" removes all outgoing Via:
headers)
        # Set to one of: Off | On | Full | Block

        ProxyVia On
</IfModule>

now this is for sure wrong.
So could somebody please give me a hint what should be in the <Proxy /> stanza?

thanks a lot
robert

here is the virtual host stanza I am using:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName wv.opensourcevista.net
    ServerAdmin rob...@redcor.ch
        
        DocumentRoot /var/www/
        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/wv_error.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel debug

        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/wv_access.log combined


    # don't loose time with IP address lookups
    HostnameLookups Off

    # needed for named virtual hosts
    UseCanonicalName Off

    # configures the footer on server-generated documents
    ServerSignature On

    RewriteEngine On

    # use #RewriteLog to debug problems with your rewrite rules
    # disable it after you found the error our your harddisk will be filled
*very fast*
    #RewriteLog "/var/log/apache2/rewrite_log"
    #RewriteLogLevel 2

    RewriteRule /(.*)/$
http://127.0.0.1:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/%{SERVER_NAME}:80/wv/VirtualHostRoot/$1
[L,P]
    RewriteRule ^/(.*)
http://127.0.0.1:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/%{SERVER_NAME}:80/wv/VirtualHostRoot/$1
[L,P]
</VirtualHost>
