Reverse proxy not working, 503 Error/ap_proxy_connect_backend disabling worker for (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

[Elliott_Veares]

Being relatively new to the Linux world, I don't exactly know why my reverse proxy settings are not working and have not got no idea how to resolve my issues. Nothing i have tried has worked.

The code below is from my old windows server what does not seem to be working in my new 1&1 vps server. I have the below code at the moment at the bottom of my httpd_ip_defult.conf file under /var/www/vhosts/system/mydomain.com/conf/

ProxyPass /cam                       http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8008/cam_1.png
ProxyPassReverse /cam             http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8008/cam_1.png

The following errors also show up in my vhosts error log:

[Sun Oct 12 23:30:56 2014] [error] (70007)The timeout specified has expired: proxy: HTTP: attempt to connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8008 (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) failed
[Sun Oct 12 23:30:56 2014] [error] ap_proxy_connect_backend disabling worker for (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

I also have mod_proxy.so , mod_proxy_http.so and mod_proxy_html.so all enabled in my main httpd.conf file at /etc/httpd/conf/

Basically, I need to fix this urgently as a core feature of my site relies on this setup.

Fixed the issue, was stupid firewall on my local computer. (aka mcafee was blocking the connection in firewall rules.)
