RE: Apache reverse proxy ?

Thanks for the reply..

I believe that the rewrite module would definitely do it but it confuses
me as I thought that this was what Reverse Proxy was doing !

At the moment the reverse proxy line in httpd.conf ;

ProxyPassReverse /tivo/ http://192.168.0.222/

seems to achieve nothing, infact if I comment it out and restart Apache
then nothing changes. i.e. I can still forward proxy and see the
initial tivo page, but no pages via links on that page.

I'm totally confused as to what the ProxyPassReverse command is supposed
to do..

I think I'll go and readup on the ReWrite module...

I had a similar problem.  With help from this list I'm using Apache
Reverse Proxying on a contribs.org SME Server.  As I understand it,
the problem is with the relative/absolute path specified in the
TivoWeb html - if you could edit the html to specify relative rather
than absolute links then it would work.

I got mine working through much experimentation as...
www.mydomain.com/tivo was broke as you describe.
("Info" links to http://www.mydomain.com/info and
not www.mydomain.com/tivo/info)
However, setting up a different reverseproxy of tivo.mydomain.com works
fine (as "Info" links to http://tivo.mydomain.com/info).

Much reading on the subject suggested a module that re-writes the
html links on the fly, as the page is served.  I believe there was a way
of doing it with a "stand-alone" apache install but, as mine is
buried
in the SME Server build, I played safe and left it alone instead
making do with the (working) tivo.mydomain.com

If you can't cope with tivo.mydomain.com then I'll have a rummage
tonight and see if I can find the details of that module...
