Hi

I am trying to set up two hosts in a reverse proxy. The reverse proxy already has 8 servers running perfectly, but they are all simply mapping pure addresses, which I have registered internally and externally.

The latest two I wish to add are a bit different, they are app servers, one simply on a different port, and that one I have successfully got working as follows:

ProxyPass / http://internalhost.domain.com:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://internalhost.domain.com:8080/

The second server is more complex, as its internal address is:

internalhost.domain.com:9080/dir/dir/default.jsp

and I would like to have the proxying as follows:

esales.domain.com -> internalhost.domain.com:9080/dir/dir/default.jsp

Sofar I have done it as above:

ProxyPass / http://internalhost.domain.com:9080/dir/dir/default.jsp/
ProxyPassReverse / http://internalhost.domain.com:9080/dir/dir/default.jsp/

When I test it I get the http 403 error.

Can anyone help?

OK, I tested it with Firefox and while it doesn't work, it gives me useful feedback. The error is 403 but not permission denied but "Serving contents of JSP files is not allowed."

I assume then that the reverse proxy part works but somewhere either in the firewall or on the Apache 2 rev proxy itself? I will check the firewall.
