[Catalyst] Catalyst in reverse proxy mode

[Peter Edwards]

Hi Bernard, here's an example of a lightweight frontend, heavy backend
configuration for Apache 1. It's not for a Catalyst app but similar enough
to be useful and is for a lightweight apache listening at myapp.foo.com port
80, used for proxying and serving static files, and a heavy mod_perl apache
listening at localhost port 8070 to run transactions.

# proxy myapp.foo.com on to backend apache at localhost:8070
# except for images, icons and robots.txt served locally
<VirtualHost *>
   ServerName        myapp.foo.com
   ErrorLog          logs/proxy_error_log_myapp.foo.com
   DocumentRoot      /opt/myapp/html
   RewriteEngine     On
   RewriteLog        /usr/local/apache/logs/rewrite_log
   RewriteLogLevel   0
   RewriteRule       ^/images - [L]
   RewriteRule       ^/icons - [L]
   RewriteRule       ^/robots\.txt - [L]
   RewriteRule       ^/(.*$)  http://127.0.0.1:8070/$1 [P]
   ProxyPassReverse  /        http://127.0.0.1/
   RewriteRule       ^proxy:.* - [F] # disallow use of this server to proxy
out elsewhere
</VirtualHost>

Regards, Peter

Hi,

I'd like to run Catalyst from the internal http server and have Apache
running as a reverse proxy server to serve pages from
http://localhost:3000

I tried to set up a RewriteRule using the [P] apache flag but I was
unsuccessful.

Did anybody try that kind of configuration and could provide some example ?
