I am trying to volunteer a Python app project for my colleague who is on vacation due to some urgency. He has developed / hosted an incomplete app on another box over our office network. Now that I am trying to analysis I want to add some debug statement but hate to play with original code as there are hundreds of lines of code. However I have the list of modules required by the backend app. Installing these modules locally in my box is failing constantly due to some issue.

However I have Apache setup at my local box. Is it possible that after copying the code to a separate location on the another box I can point Apache from my box point to the code in new location [remember it would be in another box]

To illustrate my local box IP is say A.B.C.D and the other box IP is X.Y.Z.A

Both are accessible to me. The code is in box having IP X.Y.Z.A say at /x/tool/test

I would copy the entire folder /x/tool/test to say /x/tool/test-my and now setup my Apache at IP A.B.C.D to point to app at X.Y.Z.A /x/tool/test-my path?

Is the same possible?

    Have you taken a look at the ProxyPass directive? You can use it to point a local URI to a remote URL. Example:

    ProxyPass /x/tool/text http://X.Y.Z.A/x/tool/test-my
ProxyPassReverse /x/tool/text http://X.Y.Z.A/x/tool/test-my

    (The ProxyPassReverse may not be necessary). Also if cookies are being used and the cookie domain needs to be translated, you can use ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain and ProxyPassReverseCookiePath to fix that.

    Note that you do not need to turn on ProxyRequests. This is for forward proxies, not reverse proxies. It will turn your apache webserver into an open proxy.
