Hey Alan, You are facing a very typical problem. I am not proficient with mod_proxy_html, so I am not sure I can help you.
However, the best way is always to go and fix the application. If you can not do that for whatever reason, then mod_proxy_html is a good approach. A more general approach is to work with mod_ext_filter. See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_ext_filter.html It has some nice examples. Needless to say, that this is performance relevant and that this is evolving into not very elegant hack. I am not sure I understand what you are trying to achieve with E=HTTP_HOST... In order to get this to your application, you will have to set the http host header explicitely with mod_header. regs, Christian On Fri, Oct 19, 2007 at 01:54:07PM +0200, Alan AZZERA wrote: > Hi world ! > > Here is my problem, I hope someone could help me. > > I need to host some web apps, coded in PHP by non-professional developpers, > and sometimes poorly written and designed.
