Let's say I have the following configuration:
<VirtualHost domain.com>
# Server names, admins, logs etc...
ProxyVia On
ProxyRequests Off
<Location "/">
ProxyPass http://localhost:8080/tomcat-webapp/
ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:8080/tomcat-webapp/
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
Now, I want the address domain.com/forum
to display conent of my MyBB forum, which files are inside /var/www/forum
directory. How to accomplish this?
Actually, I resolved this problem with the following code:
ProxyPass /forum !
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/tomcat-webapp/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/tomcat-webapp/
Alias /forum /var/www/forum
What it is recommending is using mod_rewrite to perform the ProxyPass instead of ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse command.
Try something like:
RewriteRule ^/forum - [L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://localhost:8080/tomcat-webapp/$1 [P,L]
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/tomcat-webapp/
I use:
<VirtualHost *:80>
#other irrelevant configs here
ProxyPass /forum http://localhost:8080/myBB
ProxyPassReverse /forum http://localhost:8080/myBB
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8081/tomcat-app
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8081/tomcat-app
</VirtualHost>
You don't have to say "tomcat-app" if your tomcat app is the root app.
