ProxyPass with 2 cases

  • 772

Having these two rules works good:

ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/app
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/app

When client visits, domain.com, Apache calls app server and it works as expected.

Problem is that there is one directory, generated by the app server that I don't want to be prepended with /app.

For example: 

domain.com/app/styles/file.css (actual case)
domain.com/styles/files.css  (this is how I want this)

Any ideas?

  1. I'm still not 100% sure which way your issue is. If you want it so that when the browser sees something like

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/styles/main.css" type="text/css" />

    It requests the main.css file that tomcat hosts at /app/styles/main.css

    Try: 

    ProxyPass /styles http://localhost:8080/app/styles
ProxyPassReverse /styles http://localhost:8080/app/styles

ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/app
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/app

    Conversely, if you want it so that when the browser sees something like

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/apps/styles/main.css" type="text/css" />

    It gets the main.css file that tomcat hosts at /styles/main.css

    Try: 

    ProxyPass /apps/styles http://localhost:8080/styles
ProxyPassReverse /apps/styles http://localhost:8080/styles

ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/app
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/app

    In either case, Apache will match in the order stuff appears in the config file.
