ProxyPass iRule, Version 8.2 usage
I'm trying to implement ProxyPass iRule, Version 8.2 so I can remove apache from a server . The apache code does nothing accept 'proxypass' to another app on the same server . Here is the proxy pass statement in the httpd.conf file
ProxyPass /LogToolDEV/ http://localhost:8080/
Currently the user connects to this app using a url like this
https://some.server.something/LogToolDEV
The bigip terminates the ssl and I currently have a simple irule that looks for the 'LogToolDEV' and changes the pool to 'test' (port 80) on which apache is listening .
This works fine.
So it seems as though I can bypass apache all together with the ProxyPass irule . I
have tried various combinations in the irule data group , here are 2
/LogToolDEV/ http://192.168.12.96:8080/ test8080
/LogToolDEV/ / test8080
the pool test8080 point to the server , port 8080
I have verified the existence of pool 'test8080' but irule debug shows

- Chris_MillerAltostratusWeird, another one of my posts didn't make it in.

- Chris_MillerAltostratusSo, you're trying to do the following?
- jonm_62062Nimbostratusnow I cant get any log output at all . So I'll have to figure out what I've done
- jonm_62062Nimbostratuswell I'm not sure what I learned from this exercise . The issue with the missing variables seems to have gone away . perhaps I had multiple spaces between the fields ?
