This Forum runs on "midas.psi.ch" under RH 7.1, Apache 1.3.22, port 8000, and 
it contains in httpd.conf:

Redirect permanent /elogdemo http://midas.psi.ch/elogdemo/
ProxyPass /elogdemo/ http://midas.psi.ch:8000/

elogd.cfg contains:

URL = http://midas.psi.ch/elogdemo/

As you can see, it works fine with all browsers, so I have no clue what is 
wrong in your case. You might want to look at your /var/log/httpd/access_log 
and /var/log/httpd/error_log to see what's going on. If you run elogd 
interactively with the "-v" flag, you see directly the communication between 
elogd and the browser which also might help.
