Here we go...
What I have been trying to do is to forward all http requests containing /cms/ to
http://cms.mydomain.com/
example1:
http://host1.mydomain.com/cms/init.php would be parsed from
http://cms.mydomain.com/init.php (via ajax request)
example2: <script src="http://host1.mydomain.com/cms/example.js" in <html><head> would be parsed from
http://cms.mydomain.com/example.js
physically there are no cms directories in
http://cms.mydomain.com/ nor in
http://host1.mydomain.com/ nor in
http://host2.mydomain.com/
/var/www/host1.mydomain.com/web/.htaccess
and
/var/www/host2.mydomain.com/web/.htaccess
look like this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/cms/(.*)$ http://cms.mydomain.com/$1 [P]
</IfModule>
According to phpinfo(), I have mod_proxy and mod_rewrite enabled.
From error log I get "[Thu Sep 13 16:32:55 2007] [error] [client 194.204.*.*] File does not exist: /var/www/web15/web/cms, referer: http://host1.mydomain.com/"
What it means is that there is no url rewriting being done. I checked if .htaccess is being parsed by adding invalid characters into it and I got 500 internal error, which means .htaccess is being parsed.
I use ISPConfig as a frontend for my virtuals. There is a texbox called "Apache Directives". For host1.mydomain.com I have filled it with:
<Directory /var/www/web15/web/>
Options +Includes +FollowSymlinks -Indexes
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
Deny from all
</Files>
</Directory>
No, I don't want to keep the contents of my .htaccess files in these small texboxes.
cms.mydomain.com has directives for white-listing my proxies:
<Directory proxy:*>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from host1.mydomain.com, host2.mydomain.com
</Directory>
Here are some relevant sections from /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

I have no clue what could be wrong, I have Googled a whole day, trying everything out with no results :(
