Apache 2.0.40 (RH9) virtual hosts vs. mod_proxy vs ssl

Hi all,

i´m using the standard rh9 apache config with ssl enabled, which works
fine. now i want to redirect an other domain via mod_proxy to an other
apache server without using ssl.

i´ve tried to setup a virtual host with this config:
....
NameVirtualHost <serverIP>

<VirtualHost <serverIP>:80>
# default virtual host which uses the standard apache server config
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost <serverIP>:80>
ServerAdmin root RemoveThis @localhost.localdomain
ServerName www.proxy-domain.de
ServerAlias proxy-domain.de
ProxyRequests On
<Directory proxy:*>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow From All
</Directory>
ProxyPass / http://<target-server>/
ProxyPassReverse / http://<target-server>/
</VirtualHost>
....

i´ve changed the virtualhost tag in ssl.conf to:
<VirtualHost <serverIP>:443>
</VirtualHost>

now my problem: apache doesn´t redirect the www.proxy-domain.de domain
anymore when ssl is enabled. when i access www.proxy-domain.de with a
browser i only see the content of the default server. no messages in
error_log or access_log.

i´ve read about the problems with namebased virtualhosts and ssl.

what i want to do is, to have the default server running on my local
domain with ssl and when there is a request for my www.proxy-domain.de
than apache should redirect this request to the target-server. can
this be done with mod_rewrite?

comments anyone?

greetings, Markus Lang

Probably because he espect you to talk https and not http, so the
second VHosts is basically ignored.

It should work, but you have to handle HTTPS in the VHost and not http.
I don't have a working configuration for this at hand, but I did it to
separate mod_ssl from another third-party module that was crashing badly
when in the same server.
