403 error using ProxyPass in Apache2 on Debian

If you get a 403 error when using proxypass on debian make sure you enable (a2enmod) the ‘proxy_http’ module as well as the ‘proxy’ module.

To send all request to a single mongrel instance use the following syntax:

<VirtualHost *>
        DocumentRoot /var/www/yourwebsite
        ProxyPass / http://localhost:4000/
        ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:4000/
<VirtualHost>
