The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /. 
Reason: Error reading from remote server
就这个问题Google了一下发现是mod_proxy的事,又G了一下他的文档 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.3/mod/mod_proxy.html 
找到了这一段话 
引用
For circumstances where mod_proxy is sending requests to an origin server that doesn't properly implement keepalives or HTTP/1.1, there are two environment variables that can force the request to use HTTP/1.0 with no keepalive. These are set via the SetEnv directive. 
These are the force-proxy-request-1.0 and proxy-nokeepalive notes.
译了一下大概是这意思(不是我译的) 
引用
当mod_proxy向一个没有正确实现持久连接(KeepAlive)或HTTP/1.1的原始服务器发送请求的时候,可以通过设置两个环境变量来发送不带持久连接(KeepAlive)的HTTP/1.0请求。这两个变量是通过SetEnv指令设置的。 
以下是force-proxy-request-1.0和proxy-nokeepalive的例子: 
<Location /buggyappserver/>
ProxyPass http://abc:7001/
SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1
SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1
</Location>
  
最后在我的httpd.conf的VirtualHost里加上了上面的两行设置 
 <VirtualHost *:80> 
JkMount /hr/servlet/* worker1
JkMount /hr/*.jsp worker1
JkMount /hr/*.do worker1
ServerAdmin abc@163.com
ServerName www.abc.com
ServerAlias www.abc.com.cn
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/$ /hr/ [R,P]
SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0.1
SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1
</VirtualHost>
重启apache,在拿ie5.5访问O了
