need to proxy from one VirtualHost to another

Hi All

I have two virtual host, which work both perfect. However, now I would like to proxy from one to the other if the URL is, lets say: example.com/other

So what I added to this VirtualHost was:

#ProxyPass /other http://other.local
ProxyPassReverse /other http://other.local

I've commented the first line, because I think I only need the second one.
However this doesn't do anything. I've used things like this to proxy to an other server (which did work), but to an other VirtualHost doesn't seem to work

Any suggestions
Thnx
LuCa

ps other.local is defined in my /etc/hosts file

 

I did some tests and noticed that I need ProxyPass (I get the impression that ProxyPassReverse only adjust the URL). So if I do:

   ProxyPassReverse /other http://www.google.com
   ProxyPass /other http://www.google.com

Code (markup):

it works. So what I think that happens when I try to proxy to the other virtualHost, the request comes back in the current virtualHost (because I get the wrong site)

So I think it might help to give more configuration info:

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin root@localhost
    DocumentRoot /srv/www/
    ServerName www.example.com
    ErrorLog logs/localhost-error_log
    CustomLog logs/localhost-access_log common
    ProxyPreserveHost On

   ProxyRequests Off

  <Proxy *>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
  </Proxy>


    ProxyPassReverse /other http://other.local
    ProxyPass /other http://other.local
   ....
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName other.local
   DocumentRoot /srv/backend/public
   ErrorLog logs/backend.local-error_log
   CustomLog logs/backend.local-access_log common
   #RailsEnv production
   RailsEnv development
   RailsAllowModRewrite off
   <directory "/srv/backend/public">
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
   </directory>
</VirtualHost>

Code (markup):

Hope this helps, because I ran out of options

thnx a lot

I found a solution which is not the best, but good enough. Just give the second host a different port number, not a different host name.

BTW, if someone can knows how to fix this problem as I described before, I'm still very interested!
