Accessing an APEX aplication behind a proxy

Question

Is there a document explaining a virtual host setup to access an APEX (3.0.1) application behind a proxy server? What parameters should be passed to ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse? I'm getting this error message:
Service Temporarily Unavailable
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
I'm running Apache on Linux Fedora 7.
Thanks,

Hi Art,
Just to clarify, when you say 'proxy' you mean
another Apache server right? (As opposed to a
hardware proxy).I've got another Apache server on a different machine.
I did but they relate to the older applicationversion
The version of APEX has no bearing on this, those are
settings for the Apache configuration which is
'transparent' to APEX.
RewriteRule ^/$ /pls/htmldb/f?p=150:1 [R=301]The '150' refers to the Application Id, the '1'
refers to the page number you want to default to (you
could omit this if you handle it in your
application). The 'R=301' is a directive to tell
Apache that this is a permanent redirect (i.e. it
issues an HTTP-301 response to the browser).John, I can access APEX' root directory (the one with oracle's license) internally from my other machines on the network (http://XXX.XXX.X.X:8080/) and I'm trying to access it from outside before I create any application. Below are my settings. With or without a rewrite part, I'm getting this error: Service Temporarily Unavailable.
For a rewrite part, I've tried:
RewriteRule ^/$ /pls/htmldb[R=301]
RewriteRule ^/$ /pls/apex [R=301]
RewriteRule ^/$ /pls [R=301]
RewriteRule ^/$ /apex [R=301]
RewriteRule ^/$ / [R=301]
<VirtualHost XXX.XXX.X.X:80>
ServerName www.abc.com
ProxyPreserveHost On
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/$ /pls/htmldb/ [R=301]
ProxyPass / http://XXX.XXX.X.X:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://XXX.XXX.X.X:8080/
</VirtualHost>
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Art
