ProxyPass within LocationMatch not working

External Since: Oct 01, 2004 Posts: 3

Hi!

I am running two apache installations on port 80 (with php4) and 81 (with
php5).

Now I'd like to pass all files ending with .php5 from port-80-apache to
port-81-apache

I used the following configuration, but it didn't work:

<LocationMatch ".*\.php5$">
ProxyPass http://localhost:81/
</LocationMatch>

If I use "Deny from all" the files are locked. So the regular expression is
correct.
If I use <Location /php5> the request is forwarded. So the ProxyPass
expression is correct.

Does anyone know why this isn't working and what can I do to get it running?

thx,
Andreas

don't know, but let me get the swiss pocket knife:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*\.php5)$ <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://localhost:81/$1" target="_blank">http://localhost:81/$1</a> [P,L]

PS: the docs are specifically talking abut a special case of using
ProxyPass inside a <Location> header - maybe they meant just that...
