mod_proxy only redirecting

[tomfmason]

I have done this particular setup many times and have never seen this before.  Basically I want to proxy all requests to this vhost to an application running on a local port. This a default install of apache2 on debian etch with mod_proxy. I have both mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http loaded. Here are the configs in question:

 

#proxy config
<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
        ProxyRequests Off
        <Proxy *>
                AddDefaultCharset off
                Order deny,allow
                Deny from all
	ProxyFtpDirCharset UTF-8
        </Proxy>
        ProxyVia On
</IfModule>


#example virtualhost
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>

        ServerAdmin admin@domain
        ServerName domain
        DocumentRoot /path/to/app/public

        <Directory />

                Options FollowSymLinks

                AllowOverride None

        </Directory>

        <Directory /path/to/app/public>

                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

                AllowOverride ALL

                Order allow,deny

                allow from all

        </Directory>



<Proxy *>
	Order allow,deny
	Allow from all
</Proxy>

        #RewriteEngine on

        #RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:5000/$1 [P,L]

        ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:5000/

        ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:5000/

        ProxyPreserveHost On

        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
        LogLevel warn
        ServerSignature On

</VirtualHost>

 

Both the rewrite and proxy pass are redirecting to 127.0.0.1:5000. I don't see anything at all in either the access or error logs. It doesn't even appear that the request ever touches apache.

 

Any ideas or suggestions?

What is really odd is that if I place the rewrites in a .htaccess in the public directory and remove the rewrite/ProxyPass from the vhost it works as expected.

You could try putting the proxypass inside a <location> </location> in yout vhost config.

Not sure apart from that.
