  Bad request(invald hostname) Reply Contact I have the following configuration: behind the ADSL router there is a LAN with the workstations and a Linux box with Apache and DNS server. It has 2 network adapters, eth0(link with LAN, ip range 192.168.1.1-253) and eth1(link with W2k3, ip 192.168.10.1). The W2k3 box(running IIS 6.0) is connected directly to the Linux boxand has the 192.168.10.2 ip associated. What I need to do: I need to host sites both on Apache and IIS. What have I done to accomplish this: I have created some virtual hosts on Apache for sites hosted on it and they are working just fine. In order to access sites on IIS I have created some virtual hosts with proxy pass. On the W2k3 box, the sites are created using host header values. I have edited the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file and added the sites on the IIS, so my hosts file on the W2k3 looks like that: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.10.2 mydomain1.com 192.168.10.2 mydomain2.com these lines are also added on the linux box hosts file Problem: when I try to access sites on the IIS from the outside, I get the Bad Request(Invalid hostname) error. If the default IIS site is up and running, when I try to access any of mydomain1.com or mydomain2.com, i get the IIS' default page. If I'm trying to access the sites from the browser on the W2k3 box or from the linux box, it works just fine. Question: what the problem might be and what would be the resolution? Thank you in advance

  Re: Bad request(invald hostname) Reply Contact Thank you very much for reply!  problem solved virtual host in apache was not defined correctly here is the right entry in apache's httpd.conf <VirtualHost 192.168.1.1:80>     ServerName mydomain1.com     ProxyPreserveHost On     ProxyRequests Off     ProxyPass / http://192.168.10.2     ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.10.2 </VirtualHost>   and the lines present in hosts file are useless, they do not have any influence when the sites are accessed from the internet. Thank you

  Re: Bad request(invald hostname) Reply Contact yes...apache...i was trying to host sites both on iis and apache, on different machines   apache was used also as a web server and a proxy for iis and i wasn't able to make it work with mod_proxy   but i did not know where the problem was...in apache or iis   at the begining i thought the iis was sending "bad answers"...but it turned out that apache was not "asking right questions"...   thanks a lot!   and sorry for the crossposting...i didn't where to put it first...and I didn't know it takes so much to be accepted(I thought the first post has been rejected).
