I want to configure Apache web server to use a proxy server, so that all the outbound requests go through this proxy server. Could you please help me how to do this? I tried with Proxifier, but it didn't help me much.

you want it so that if a client requests a page (not from the proxy) the response goes through the proxy? or if an application / script on the server makes and outbound request for data it goes through the proxy?Doon– Doon2013-01-24 03:45:12 +00:00Commented Jan 24, 2013 at 3:45

Yes the second one - when the HTTP Server makes an outbound request, it should go through the proxyApps– Apps2013-01-24 03:50:00 +00:00Commented Jan 24, 2013 at 3:50

what is making the outbound request from apache? A script or are you using mod_proxy?Doon– Doon2013-01-24 03:58:46 +00:00Commented Jan 24, 2013 at 3:58

Yes I'm using a mod_proxy. There is a proxy pass rule created which forwards some url patterns to a different domainApps– Apps2013-01-24 04:01:13 +00:00Commented Jan 24, 2013 at 4:01

If you need to proxy outbound requests, you can use ProxyRemote from mod_proxy http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxyremote
ProxyRemote * http://ip.of.proxY.host:port

If you're using Apache the simpler way is to define a global variable http_proxy. On RedHat like edit /etc/sysconfig/httpd and adjust these two lines to your environment:
export http_proxy="http://proxy:8080/"
export https_proxy="http://proxy:8080/"
