I think I understand what you are trying to achieve. I've had a similar
problem before.

Access www.safeplace.com using it's IP address instead on the machine that
is doing the proxying and see if that is correct. If so use

<VirtualHost www.foobar.com:443>
        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/your.crt
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/your.key
        ServerName www.foobar.com
        ...
ProxyPass / http://www.safeplace.com/
ProxyPassReverse / http://www.safeplace.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost www.foobar.com:80>
        SSLEngine off
        ServerName www.foobar.com
        ...
ProxyPass / http://www.safeplace.com/
ProxyPassReverse / http://www.safeplace.com/
</VirtualHost>

The trailing slash is important!

If you don't get the content you expect with "www.safeplace.com"'s IP
address, then the problem is with that server.

Subject: SSL and reverse proxy weirdness : >



I would like to do something with mod_ssl and Apache 1.3.12
that seems simple yet is not doing what I require.

https://www.foobar.com or http://www.foobar.com should
reverse proxy for http://www.safeplace.com. ie: I should
see the pages from www.safeplace.com appear on foobar.com's
http server either as a client SSL connection or plain connection.

I have read all examples on engelschalls pages and have
tried maybe 100 variations of rules today and usually get /tmp
contents of foobar and nothing in the logs.
As there is nothing in the logs I cannot tell what is wrong
with my rules.
I have also been through a couple of archives today and dejanews
and this precise topic does not show up thus far. Any suggestions
or ideas?

Thanks - Gerry
