Forwarding request made to my server to another server on the same path

  • 772

I need to create a sub-directory mapping in the Apache server such that each request made to the path /another-path gets forwarded to https://some-website/another-path. How could I do this?

If the incoming request is on my server https://my-website/another-path. I want it forward to another server on https://some-website/another-path.

How can I do this?

  1. Please have a look at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1393706/how-to-use-a-different-path-name-in-proxypass-than-the-tomcat-context-name which is nearly the same problem but with Tomcat.

    ProxyPass /this-pass/ https://example-1.com/
ProxyPassReverse /this-pass/ https://example-1.com/

    Use ProxyPass. The problem is not the domain, the problem is the different location on the backend server. ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse can handle that. If it isn't working out of the box, then try ´Rewrite` hack on the response.

    RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/$ /this-pass/ [R]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /this-pass/$1 [P]

    But I think, this isn't necessary (I didn't test that rewrite).
