RewriteProxy on IIS 7.5 stopped working

10 Jan 2013, 15:22

We updated Ape from the 2.0.0.72 to 3.0.0.76 2 days ago. Today we discovered that the RewritePrxoy statement is no longer working. It was working previously. I'm trying just a real simply proxy and it's failing


RewriteProxy ^/test/$ http://www.google.com/ [NC]

When I enable logging, it looks like it's trying to work. I see this:

init rewrite engine with /palehorse/
applying pattern ^/test/ to uri /test/
go-ahead with proxy request http://www.google.com [OK]

All I get though is this:
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

Note that if I change it to RewriteRule, I get a 302 as I would expect. I've also used this exact RewriteProxy on a different server running the same version of IIS on Windows 2008 R2 with the same patches installed and the same version of Ape and it works.

What can I do to further troublshoot this issue?

Also, please note that I've tried changing it to ProxyPass with no luck.

Thanks in advance,
Joel

Hello, Joel

Try to close and start Ape again.
Or try to re-install Ape completely.
It's most likely to be an issue with incorrect upgrade.

Thanks Anton. Uninstall/re-install did resolve the issue.
