Apache as a "frontend" on top of Comanche using "reverse proxying" and "virtual hosting"

here is my vhost entry in my apache 1.3 httpd.conf file for my virtual domain http://wiki.gudinna.com hope this will help.

dont forget to load your proxy and rewrite module, rewrite is used to handle some misplaced url's.

LoadModule proxy_module /usr/lib/apache/modules/libproxy.so
LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache/modules/mod_rewrite.so
<VirtualHost>
ServerName wiki.gudinna.com
#basic you will need something like this
ProxyPass / http://www.gudinna.com:8000/gudinna/
ProxyPassReverse / http://www.gudinna.com:8000/gudinna/
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/gudinna/(.*)$ /$1 [R]

RewriteRule ^/comanche.gif$ http://www.gudinna.com:8000/comanche.gif [R]

#These rules makes apache handle heavy workload for uploads and button graphics.
#note these two "speedups" will not work on ComSwiki 1.3 for files with spaces in the filename.
