Hello. I am a complete newbie to Linux.

I am currently trying to set up a reverse proxy (with sql authentication) using Apache.

I use the tutorial from Running a Reverse Proxy with Apache:
The problem I encounter is with the mod_proxy_html module. (at least I think that is the problem)

Whenever I try to start up, I encounter this error: Unknown Directive ProxyHTMLURLMap etc... and then fails to start up

If i comment out the lines that contain ProxyHTMLURLMap and try to start, apache starts fine. But the problem is that some links and redirects no longer get rewritten and causes some problems (like unroutable links and the like).

I have made sure that the module is being loaded, I also tried to recompile both the 2.x and the newly released 3.x versions of mod_proxy_html and no help.

If I do a httpd -M (I think its -M) it does show that the module is being loaded as (shared)

OS specs: Fedora 7 running Apache 2.2.4
HW: Compaq desktop mini tower with an AMD core with 512 megs of memory.

This is the test box and the reverse proxy will be set up, later, on a full RHEL5 box. This is also not just a problem with fedora/redhat for I have tried ubuntu,Mandriva, and CentOS and they have the same issue (those were running 2.2.3 I believe). So I think it has to be an issue with apache or something I did wrong. The only system i dont think I had a problem was SuSe but right now our main web application server (which is the server that is on the backend) is redhat and we are trying to keep things close to the same.



Anybody have any ideas?
