Thanks to all who endure the torture of my posting this issue. I have made progress, I have done some serious RTFM, many have helped me find my way. The connection barrier has been broken. I am actually being served _something._

My observation is that the "Debian way" of processing ProxyPass is far more direct on the "front server" where as the CentOS model from whence I came before passed requests and responses back and forth with minimal action on the part of the "front server." My observations are based on a sample set of ONE Ubuntu system and ONE CentOS; not the least bit significant in sample size!!

What has me where I am? I have copied the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl file (applications all use https) and added these important lines at the bottom:

    ProxyRequests Off
    <Proxy *>
        Order deny, allow
        Allow from all
    </Proxy>
    SetEnv      force-proxy-request-1.01
    SetEnv      proxy-nokeepalive 1
    SSLProxyEngine      On
    ProxyPreserveHost   On
    ProxyPass           /mysite https://10.123.123.123
    ProxyPassReverse    /mysite https://10.123.123.123

Yes, I did the a2ensite mysite.

When I browse this link, I see stuff I recognize. I'm actually getting the login username and password request, and it works. The graphics are all hosed. When the main page behind the username challenge is served, it's all kind of scrambled - readable but not properly positioned. Links do not work on the main page.

So here are some sample lines from /var/log/apache2/error.log that are definitely the next clue. Apologies up front about line wrap

[Fri Feb 19 13:13:33 2010] [error] [client {myIP}] File does not exist: /var/www/images, referer: https://{serverIP}/mysite [Fri Feb 19 13:13:33 2010] [error] [client {myIP}] File does not exist: /var/www/images, referer: https://{serverIP}/mysite [Fri Feb 19 13:13:33 2010] [error] [client {myIP}] File does not exist: /var/www/libs, referer: https://{serverIP}/mysite [Fri Feb 19 13:13:49 2010] [error] [client {myIP}] File does not exist: /var/www/index.php, referer: https://{serverIP}/mysite

If you've been there and done that (bt&dt), I'd be mighty obliged for your kind assistance.

Howard
