In apache-2.0.54-r8 (current with keyword x86) there's a template for the use of mod_proxy in the /etc/apche2/conf/commonapache.conf. It lokks like this #<IfModule mod_proxy.c> # ProxyRequests On # <Directory proxy:*> # Order deny,allow # Deny from all # </Directory> # ... This is Apache 1 style and doesn't seem to work in Apache 2. If you just uncomment these lines, you'll have an open proxy!!! It should be #<IfModule mod_proxy.c> # ProxyRequests On # <Proxy *> # Order deny,allow # Deny from all # </Proxy> # ... instead. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
This is fixed in new-style configuration.
