That setup might be an issue. Easiest way to check is to put a completely open crossdomain.xml file in the root of the web server. Now which server is that??? Try both the real one and the virtual one. Get it working and remove them till it breaks.

Post the url to the Flex > app and to the HTTPService you are calling, and let's see. I set this variable when the application starts: provisioningServerHostPort = HTTPUtil.getProtocol()+"//"+HTTPUtil.getHostName()+(HTTPUtil.getPort()== ''?'':(":"+HTTPUtil.getPort()))+"/mmo"; This uses the ExternalInterface like this: /** * Returns the current host name. * example: http://www.flexpasta.com/?x=1&y=2 <http://www.flexpasta.com/?x=1&y=2> would return www.flexpasta.com */ public static function getHostName():String { return ExternalInterface.call("window.location.hostname.toString"); } /** * Returns the current protocol, such as http:, https:, etc * */ public static function getProtocol():String { return ExternalInterface.call("window.location.protocol.toString"); } So the HTTPService calls use the above variable: <mx:HTTPService id="ajaxData" url="{provisioningServerHostPort}/ws_data" resultFormat="e4x" useProxy="false" result="resultHandler(event);" /> The URL I launch the application is of this form: http://fishburn-d830/mmo/MMO.html <http://fishburn-d830/mmo/MMO.html> So the provisioningServerHostPort is: http://fishburn-d830/mmo/ws_data <http://fishburn-d830/mmo/ws_data> So it should be hitting the same web server (Apache). Once inside Apache, I have a reverse proxy defined like this: <Location /mmo/ws_data> ProxyPass http://fishburn-d830:8585/mmo/ws_data <http://fishburn-d830:8585/mmo/ws_data> ProxyPassReverse http://fishburn-d830:8585/mmo/ws_data <http://fishburn-d830:8585/mmo/ws_data> </Location> So, the request is actually processed by a different web server, but the originating URL is in the same domain. Is there a problem with this? Thanks for your response. Dave
