All,

My server was used for hacking other servers by some morons. mod_proxy was set wide open - we were getting used as a relay for attacks on all sorts of servers. For the sake of people getting attacked, I've had to set it to Deny from all.

Are you using it as a regular proxy or just to front-end Zope?

If you're just front-ending Zope, then check to make sure "ProxyResuests" is NOT set to On. This will enable the proxy service which you don't need.

You will need the proxy module loaded for rewrite to fetch the URL from Zope but you shouldn't need the proxy service enabled.

This seems to have broken my zope sites, however.

Yup. mod_rewrite uses parts of mod_proxy.
