How to Proxy one Apache server to another?

You should provide error log.

Are you trying to reverse proxy?
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html

If yes enable mod_proxy : sudo a2enmod proxy and read above

Error log is this: [Sun Dec 06 07:44:30 2009] [notice] Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8g configured -- resuming normal operations

I just want to make all requests for vle.src.ac.uk to get proxied to vle2.src.ac.uk

Thanks again, much appreciated.
Ken

All of these modules are already enabled, still doesn’t work?

Am I using the proper script for proxying one apache (vle.src.ac.uk) to another (vle2.src.ac.uk)?

Many thanks,
Ken

Appiah proposed the following answer:
First do in a terminal.

sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
ls -al /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ to see if mod_rewrite is enabled.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html read up on how to
specify rules.

This solved my question:
Proxy forwarding is done by modifying the http.conf file with the info below.
You will also need the modules mod_proxy_http and mod_proxy within Mods enabled (/etc/Apache2)

# Put this after the other LoadModule directives
LoadModule proxy_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy_http.so

# Put this with your other VirtualHosts, or at the bottom of the file
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
                ServerName nameofserver.ac.uk

                ProxyRequests Off
                <Proxy *>
                                Order deny,allow
                                Allow from all
                </Proxy>

                ProxyPass / http://nameofservertoproxytoo.ac.uk/
                ProxyPassReverse / http://nameofservertoproxytoo.ac.uk/
                <Location />
                                Order allow,deny
                                Allow from all
                </Location>
</VirtualHost>
