Just a note: Proxy doesn't "redirect". Redirect is a very specific term that means "send a response back to the client causing it to make a second request for a new URL". Proxying means "fetch the content from a second server without informing the client". The two processes have the same overall effect (client requests data from one URL but gets content from another) but operate via different mechanisms. > > error_log just registers the following: > > [Tue Nov 27 15:41:08 2007] [error] [client 1.1.1.1] File does > not exist: > /var/www/html/domain/folder You diagnosis is correct - the ProxyPass directive is not being used. Is the block you quoted inside a VH? Are you sure that this block is really serving the pages? To check, change the path of the DocumentRoot directive and see what happens (I suspect you might have another VH with a DocumentRoot definition that is overriding this one...)
