Problem with VirtualHost/Proxy

Trying to proxy webmin to a subdomain

Hello everyone,

I'm running a Debian (lenny) 64bits server with Apache2 installed. For the first time I use a control panel to maintain some parts of my server, Webmin to be exact.

As a default webmin runs on port 10000. So to enter the webmin panel you'd have to go to: [your.server.ip:10000...] now I wanted to change this, with the use of a virtual host and the mod_proxy, to [subdomain.pointingtoserver.com:80...] so I don't have to fuzz around with entering the port anymore.

In the beginning I couldn't get it to work at all, the subdomain kept redirecting to the standard Apache 'It Works!' message. Later on I somehow magically managed to get it working half. Unfortunately I didn't come further than a 500 Internal Server Error and my error log saying something about 'no protocol to handle the url'. Obviously I googled that error and most results were about not having all mods loaded. I did load every mod I needed for the proxy properly though.

I reverted everything back now, so I can't tell you anymore how my conf was exactly.

But my question is: How can I get my webmin on a subdomain without having to enter a custom port?

Thank you in advance,

Tinuva

It's a bit hard to discuss this without seeing your mod_proxy config directives...
