Hi all, I am very new to apache and have been given a task. We have an internal server on which web services are deployed, which we need to expose over the internet so the vendor application can consume it. But as per the internal policy we cant expose the internal server, in order to do so we have kept an external server and we need too call the web services using the external server which is kept on public ip and exposed to the internet. lets suppose the request will come to externalserver.domain.com and apache will listen to it and forward it to the internalserver.localdomain.com and get the requested webservices and give it to the externalserver.domain.com for this i am trying the below method ProxyPass /webservices h"tt"p:/"/internalserver.localdomain.com:8000/webservices/SOAProvider/plsql/xxx_customer_pkg/" ProxyPassReverse /webservices h"t"tp:/"/internalserver.localdomain.com:8000/webservices/SOAProvider/plsql/xxx_customer_pkg/" note : above i put "" bcuz the forum is not letting me post in the original file im not using "" now what happens is that on browser i am able to get the desire result but if i am using soapUI on which i need to test it is failing and the error states as below. Connect to internalserver.localdomain.com:8000 [internalserver.localdomain.com:8000/10.0.251.44] failed: Connection timed out: connect but if i use VPN and use the same method it works. Can any1 please guide me. I will be really greatful for this help. Thanks and Regards
