Configure Apache Reverse Proxy on Mac

Following up on the previous posts on configuring apache on Ubuntu, I now post the method to do the same on the Mac.

Step 1: You will need to download the mod_proxy_html module from http://apache.webthing.com/mod_proxy_html/

Step 2: Compile the code.

$ sudo apxs -ci -I /usr/include/libxml2 mod_xml2enc.c
$ sudo apxs -ci -I /usr/include/libxml2 -I . mod_proxy_html.c

Then update you httpd.conf to include

LoadFile /usr/lib/libxml2.dylib
LoadModule  proxy_html_module   libexec/apache2/mod_proxy_html.so
LoadModule  xml2enc_module   libexec/apache2/mod_xml2enc.so

Also take a look at the proxy-httpd.conf file that ships with mod_proxy_html for additional config you may want.
