Using Apache As A Proxy Server

How could I configure this option on a windows install? Currently I am running version 1.3 on win2k.
Thanks

Could you elaborate?

On what, the cookies bug? More info at

(couldn't find the entry in the bugtrack database). We had the system set up and working beautifully until the complaints started pouring in about Hotmail not working. We're waiting for 1.3.25 now as we're on Win2K and not really in a posiiton to compile a contrib version.

I have setup Apache with php and mysql on a win2k server which connects to the internet via another proxy outwith our network. I want to use the apache as a proxy for our network, the win2k server can see the internet but the workstations on my network say they cannot find host when using my win2k proxy, has anyone got any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Icarus made a potentially difficult operation trivial. I got m' Apache Proxy working in 6 minutes.
For my Win9x clients, i added a registry hack and integrated it in my NetLogon script to automate the IE proxy settings:
IEproxy.reg::::::::::::::::::::::::::
[HK_USERS\.Default\Software\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings]
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001
"ProxyServer"="10.1.1.254:80"
logon.bat add-on:::::::::::::::::::::
regedit /S \\server\netlogon\IEproxy.reg
...and that's it. do a tail -f /var/log/httpd/access_log and watch 'em go!
also, the restrictions work great as well!!

I don't know

I dont get it : why do if your proxy's address is 192.168.0.10 you use the address 192.168.0.124 on the clients machines ?

I have 192.168.0.1...what should I use : http://192.168.0.1 or somlething else ?

thanks

I configured apche through webmin, great! the only problem is that I don't know the port numbers for mail clients (outlook).

Using Apache As A Proxy Server (http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Administration/Using-Apache-As-A-Proxy-Server)

June 12, 2002 - Apache isn't just the planet's most popular Web server - it's also one heck of a proxy server. This article explores the process of installing and configuring Apache to act as a proxy server for your network, demonstrating how it can be used to cache frequently-accessed Web sites, log Internet access and block offensive domains, in addition to serving up Web content. Talk about getting two servers for the price of one!

Please discuss this article in this thread. You can read the article here (http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Administration/Using-Apache-As-A-Proxy-Server).

Will this proxy also work for things like AOL AIM in forwarding it's requests. If AIM is setup to login to some server on port 5190, and I also set Aim to use a proxy, and direct it to the Apache proxy, will the proxy be able to handle this, and allow AIM to go through it for its login, chat, etc? Or does this proxy only handle simple HTTP requests?

hmmm. interesting question. afraid i really don't know, i only tried it for http requests. i suspect it may not work, but you should try it out for yourself anyway.

It doesn't seem like the author noticed that not all of the requests succeeded. Some get 502 errors:

192.168.0.143 - - [23/May/2002:15:35:56 +0530] "GET
http://www.melonfire.com/images/contact_h.jpg HTTP/1.0" 502 519

and at least one other..
This error code means "Bad gateway"

hence before implementing this solution in production, you should check to make sure it actually works.

How do I point Apache Proxy Server Setup to an ISP Proxy?
