Hi,
Sorry if this question is very basic, I am new to this and will appreciate your help.
I have installed WAMP and it works fine.
However, I need to use Apache as a proxy server.
I go into browser settings and switch to "Manual proxy configuration" with "localhost" and port "80".
Typing "localhost" in the browser works fine- it displays WAMP homepage.
But, the following problems are observed:
1. If I type an external domain name into the browser address bar, e.g. www.bbc.co.uk, I see the WAMP homepage (although the browser address bar still says "www.bbc.co.uk"
2. If I type an external domain name with a path into the browser address bar, e.g. www.bbc.co.uk/news/in_pictures/, I get a "404 not found" error: "The requested URL /news/in_pictures/ was not found on this server."
Apache log says this:
"....[error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: C:/wamp/news/in_pictures/, referer: www.bbc.co.uk/news/in_pictures/".
So, it looks like any domains get automatically overwritten with the wamp installation directory path.
Any ideas why is this happening and how to resolve this?
Thank you
