problem getting mod_proxy_html working [SOLVED]

[redwood]

Hi,

I have a small private network 192.168.1.0/24 sitting behind an ADSL-modem/router with a single dynamic IP which I've registered using dyndns.com which forwards port 8080 to my main Gentoo64 amd64 Server (S64) and port 443
to another 32-bit PentiumIII Server (S32) running a commercial 32-bit web-application licensed for that cpu.

I'd like to setup a forward/reverse proxy for apache using mod_proxy_html and have my router forward http/https
ports to my main S64 server which would then rewrite the requests as appropriate.
I've added the directive "-D PROXY_HTML" to $APACHE2_OPTS in /etc/conf.d/apache2

Yet when I try to start apache2 with mod_proxy_html syntax (e.g. ProxyPass, ProxyRequests, etc.) I get
startup errors:
#cat /var/log/apache2/startuperror.log
Syntax error on line 89 of /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhosts.conf:
Invalid command 'ProxyRequests', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

I've tried both *2.4.3 and (~)2.5.1 versions of mod_proxy_html to no avail.
I'm running apache2:
#eix net-www/apache
[I] net-www/apache
Available versions:
(1) 1.3.34-r14 (~)1.3.37
(2) 2.0.58-r2 (~)2.0.59-r2 [M](~)2.2.4
Installed versions: 2.0.59-r2(2)(17:41:22 04/02/07)(apache2 debug -doc -ldap -mpm-itk -mpm-leader -mpm-peruser -mpm-prefork -mpm-threadpool mpm-worker -selinux ssl -static-modules threads)


A portion of my /etc/apache2/vhost.d/vhosts.conf file
<VirtualHost *:443>
UseCanonicalName off
ServerName app1.mydomain.net
Redirect / https://S32.mydomain.net:443/cgi-bin/app1/app1_login
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/app1-error
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/app1-access combined

ProxyRequests off
ProxyPass /app1/ https://S32.mydomain.net:443/
ProxyHTMLURLMap https://S32.mydomain.net:443 /app1
<Location /app1/>
ProxyPassReverse /
SetOutputFilter proxy-html
ProxyHTMLURLMap / /app1/
ProxyHTMLURLMap /app1 /app1
RequestHeader unset Accept-Encoding
</Location>
</VirtualHost>

I've got the following in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
# grep "LoadModule proxy" /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so
LoadModule proxy_ftp_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so



THANKS for any ideas on getting mod_proxy_html functioning.


[SOLVED]
I needed two Directives in my /etc/conf.d/apache2
APACHE2_OPTS="$APACHE2_OPTS -D PROXY -D PROXY_HTML"

I had a working Apache on my prior incarnation of my server (I still have the old drive mounted for comparison) but now get the error you listed.

I only had "-D PROXY" but after reading this added "-D PROXY_HTML" as well.
I also tried a Make.conf change to APACHE2_MODULES+="proxy proxy_connect proxy_ftp proxy_http" (these do NOT seem to be reflected when I did an emerge -av apache. They still list with "-" in front of name.

I also do not see the actual so's in the module directories.

Any clues? Advice?

Did you remember to
emerge www-apache/mod_proxy_html ?

No, couldnt emerge that as it was masked (amd64) - I decided to open a new thread since it wasn't a simple answer and wanted no one to ignore it due to solved marker
