Deborah, all,

I've setup HTTP/HTTPS 2.7.1-1.3.14 mod-ssl.
HTTP and HTTPS services work!

The proxy does not work.

I'm using the same proxy directives as I used in my 1.3.12 proxy
installation, ProxyPass, ProxyPassReverse directives etc.

I think proxy is an optional module so I had to change /src/Configuration
file to include that module and reconfigure.

But what else needs to be done to make proxy/reverse proxy work?

I'd like to setup Apache HTTPS proxies infront of our application servers.
We have a load balancer (soon to be an Apache module) to load balance the
proxies.

        Solaris 8 (load balancer, part of Apache server)
                Free BSD 4.0 (two or more HTTPS Apache proxies)
                        IIS, HTTP, ASP/COM applications (20+ servers)

If what I preach (i.e Unix solution) works, we'll be dumping IIS 
alltogether.

Our objective is to lower the cost.  We want to pay only for the
two+ SSL certificates for the two Apache proxies. Otherwise,
we'd have to pay for all 20+ certificates.

Since no one else has answered, I'll at least ask for clarification and then
maybe I'll be able to help...
I gather you've successfully installed Apache with mod_ssl and mod_proxy. It
starts okay and serves pages for both HTTP and HTTPS requests? Is that
right? So now are you asking how to configure a reverse proxy?

Given that I believe you joined the list during the "CLUELESS MORON" storm
(not a pretty sight), I can understand some reluctance on your part to risk
ticking some one off by sending a huge long email - but more detail is
always better. I'm sure with a bit more detail on exactly what you're trying
to do and in what way it's failing, someone on this list will be able to
help.

Deb
