External URL with mod_rewrite and mod_proxy in WAMP

Question

I am using WAMP on my local server, I am trying to redirect a local directory to an external domain name, for example:

http://myhost.dev/directory should redirect to http://www.google.com

However, I wish to keep http://myhost.dev/directory in the address bar. I understand that I need to set up mod_proxy, which after reading the documentation have found that I need to do this:

RewriteRule ^directory http://google.co.uk [P]
ProxyPassReverse /directory/ http://phvc.co.uk/schools/

However, I am getting the following error:

[Mon Oct 22 10:41:22 2012] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1] C:/wamp/www/vhosts/path/.htaccess: ProxyPassReverse not allowed here

If anyone can help with this, that would be appreciated.

I have turned on all the modules saying proxy in WAMP:

• proxy_module
• proxy_ajp_module
• proxy_balancer_module
• proxy_connect_module
• proxy_ftp_module
• proxy_http_module

Cheers.
