Just wondering how it was supposed to work .... when it's bad that is. To clear up turning off proxy, are you refering to removing the following line from httpd.conf? LoadModule proxy_module modules/libproxy.so & AddModule mod_proxy.c Along with commenting out ### IP Address/Port and Proxied configuration section ### # The APACHEPROXIED setting can be set in /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd if you # are using a proxy or accelerator, like the Apache-SGI or khttpd, so that # the fast web server serves static content while Apache handles the # cgi or php files #BindAddress * <IfDefine !APACHEPROXIED> Port 80 Listen 80 </IfDefine> <IfDefine APACHEPROXIED> Port 8080 Listen 8080 </IfDefine> # Likewise, we can set apache as the server by default and send perl # requests via ProxyPass to apache-mod_perl. It increases performance # since the perl interpreter is only used for perl and the standard apache # does all the html and image files, with a smaller footprint. # Likewise, we can set apache as the server by default and send perl # requests via ProxyPass to apache-mod_perl. It increases performance # since the perl interpreter is only used for perl and the standard apache # does all the html and image files, with a smaller footprint. # # If you install apache and apache-mod_perl, this is the default config. # If you don't want two web servers to use perl, uninstall apache, and # apache-mod_perl will not be proxied. <IfDefine PERLPROXIED> RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^proxy:.* - [F] RewriteRule ^(.*\/perl\/.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}:8200$1 [P] RewriteRule ^(.*\/cgi-perl\/.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}:8200$1 [P] </IfDefine> If so have you tried this on port 8080 as well? My attempt to try it on mandrakesoft.com site just hung with no telnet established. I'm also curious if it's a perl thing or an apache thing that causes the problem. Since it seems that both can do the proxies. (seems to open up 8200 for perl but maybe I'm wrong.) James > >
