Apache Proxy

[twprogrammers]

Ok, I have a website using apache2 on port 80. I have privoxy forwarding socks5 from tor. I can't seem to figure out how to use the apache proxy module to pipe traffic from my subdomain on port 80 to privoxy on port 8118. Basically when I am on the guest wifi at my doctors office it blocks all outgoing ports except 80. I was running it locally from my laptop but it was slowing everything else down (my laptop has slow and decrepit syndrome) so I decided to use my webserver as a work around. Now I am stuck trying to figure the proxy module. Everything I tried makes it direct to the /var/www folder, so going to, say, www.google.com/search says this folder does not exist but when I go to www.google.com it pops up my server's /var/www folder. This is very confusing for me. All help is appreciated.

what have you tried so far?

Gosh, that's a lot of stuff to list....

<Proxy *:80>...</Proxy>
<Proxy proxy.example.com:80>...</Proxy>
<Proxy *>...</Proxy>
<Proxy proxy.example.com>...</Proxy>
<VirtualHost *:80>...</VirtualHost>
<Location />...</Location>

... being almost all possible combinations of the following:

ProxyPass / http://proxy.example.com:8118
ProxyPassReverse / http://proxy.example.com:8118
ProxyRequests On
ProxyVia On
SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1
SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1
ProxyRemote * http://proxy.example.com:8118

I am probably missing a few, but I can't think of them at the moment.

Everything I tried makes it direct to the /var/www folder

This is the point at which I would open the config file in a text editor and do a global search for the string "var/www".

maybe this?

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass

If the first argument ends with a trailing /, the second argument should also end with a trailing / and vice versa. Otherwise the resulting requests to the backend may miss some needed slashes and do not deliver the expected results.

just tried:

<VirtualHost *:80>
 ServerAlias "proxy.example.com"
 ServerName example.com
 ProxyPass / http://proxy.example.com:8118/
 ProxyPassReverse / http://proxy.example.com:8118/
 ProxyRequests On
</VirtualHost>

but it just made all domains point to my servers IP Address, causing all domains to show the /var/www folder.

I found something that helps on what I need to do, but not how I am to accomplish it. What I need is a forward proxy that goes through a second forward proxy before it reaches the internet. So basically:

Me @ any port -> Apache @ server:80 -> Privoxy forwarding Tor @ server:8118 -> Internet

So how would I do that using mod_proxy and/or other Apache modules?

I'm sorry for triple posting the time for editing the two posts above expired.
@phranque I'm sorry, when I realized that posting my domain was against the rules it was too late to edit my posts. I will not, at least try my best not to, do it again.

Nevermind, it was taking too much ram to host it on my server. So I no longer need this.
