Fix Apache Virtualhost with Proxy Location

  • 772

Given the following virtualhost:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/var/www/dashboards/public/dist"
    Servername local.dashboards
    ServerAlias local.dashboards

    Header add Access-Control-Allow-Origin: "*"
    Header add Access-Control-Allow-Methods: "POST, GET, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE, HEAD"
    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers: "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept, Authorization"

    Alias /api /var/www/dashboards/laravel/public

    <Directory "/var/www/dashboards/public/dist">
        Options MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    <Directory "/var/www/dashboards/laravel/public">
        Options MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    <Location />
        ProxyPass http://localhost:3030/
        ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:3030/
    </Location>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/dashboards.error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/dashboards.access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

Can ahyone suggest why requests to local.dashboards/api are still being caught by the Location directive? I can confirm that the node server is catching the request to /api and returning a 404 page.

    From the docs:

    Aliasing occurs before <Directory> sections are checked, so only the destination of aliases are affected. (Note however <Location> sections are run through once before aliases are performed, so they will apply.)

    A <Location /> will pretty much apply to everything.

    How about something like <LocationMatch !^/api> instead?
