Hi,

Currently, the guide lines for using Apache as a reverse proxy to galaxy are to use the mod_rewrite module and the rewrite rules as explained in the galaxy wiki.

I was wondering whether anybody has tried to use mod_proxy, mod_proxy-http instead, with proxypass and proxypassreverse directives ? any technical limitations ? could it be more efficient in a production configuration ?

Thanks for the info

Chris

Hi Chris, Here's our production config. We use external auth, which is why REMOTE_USER is set. I hope it helps.
