There are various sites with instructions that did not work.
However, following the instructions here> http://abhirama.wordpress.com/2008/11/03/apache-mod_proxy-in-ubuntu/ did the trick.
The reverse proxy module was installed:
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-proxy-htm
Libxml was installed:
apt-get install libxml2-dev

Hey, a quick post about a script I wrote for combining together multiple video files.
It’s based on a post from: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/05/join-and-split-files-including-video-in.html
Steps during execution
1) The script converts all mp4 and flv files to MPG files.
2) This is done in order to use the CAT command with > to send all the bytes from all files into one location output.mpg.
3) Finally we convert output.mpg to MP4 and have the final file.
NOTE: I will check into using possible shortcuts to speed up the process.

sleep 3
for i in *.mp4; do
if [ -e "$i" ]; then
file=`basename "$i" .mp4`
echo converting "$i" to "$file.mpg"
ffmpeg -i "$i" -sameq "$file.mpg"
fi
done
for i in *.flv; do
if [ -e “$i” ]; then
file=`basename “$i” .flv`
echo converting “$i” to “$file.mpg”
ffmpeg -i “$i” -sameq “$file.mpg”
fi
done
mkdir temp
mv *.mpg temp
cd temp
cat * > output.mpg
ffmpeg -i output.mpg -sameq final.mp4

Killing CouchDB on Ubuntu 10.04
I Wanted to do some maintenance and move my couchdb data files to another partition but couchdb would not stop when I called the usual stop commands:
1)sudo /etc/init.d/couchdb stop
2)sudo service couchdb stop
Found a lot of posts and out of all of them found this nice tidbit below:
ps -U couchdb -o pid= | xargs kill -9
Note: It’s not the best thing to viciously kill a process. I imagine databases usually have shutdown tasks to do, must end with current insertions, etc. I’ll post if I find a bug fix.
