Subject: elogd under Apache, login screen always reappears 
Hi,

I am new to elog so please bear with me if this sounds like a stupid
question... 

I would like to run elogd under Apache because I don't want to open another
port (eg. 8080) on the firewall for incoming http traffic. I followed the
special instructions for that sort of setup but the user logon screen always
comes up again, even after using a valid username/password.

I am testing on a Redhat 7.2 based distribution (called SME server) in a
test domain (tuxhome.co.nz). 
"Apache modules mod_proxy.c and mod_alias.c are activated", Yes.
There seems to be a problem here with the Apache Redirect statement. When I
try with
Redirect permanent /elog http://www.tuxhome.co.nz/elog/
ProxyPass /elog/ http://www.tuxhome.co.nz:8080/
Mozilla responds "Redirection limit for this URL exceeded" and IE6 says
"cannot find server or DNS error" so I have commented out the redirect
statement for now.
I might misunderstand the required URL statement in elogd.cfg 
"URL = http://your.proxy.host/subdir/" ?
which I understand it would have to be 
URL = http://www.tuxhome.co.nz/elog/ for my above example?

Maybe someone could help me with an example that includes all 3 of the
statements together, the redirect + proxypass from httpd.conf plus the URL
from elogd.conf?
Thanks for any help.
