I'm trying to get my rewrite rules up and working and all is well if I just use the L or R options at the end of the rewrite such as... RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.mysite.edu:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.mysite.edu:80/VirtualHos... [R] RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.mysite.edu:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.mysite.edu:80/VirtualHos... [L] But since I want to proxy to hide the long VHM url I want to use the P option. Only problem is, this doesn't seem to work. I'm using Redhat 7.2 with Apache 1.3.27 with mod_proxy compiled as a module. Here's the full line that's not working. RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.mysite.edu:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.mysite.edu:80/VirtualHos... [L,P] The mod_proxy page says you need to have it compiled in statically to the server to work with rewrite rules, is this true...anybody ever have this same trouble?
