What I want to do
Make all of http://cloud.example.com/ appear as http://webmail.example.com/cloud/
- http://cloud.example.com : the targeted website
- http://webmail.example.com : the website where apache2 is running with mod_proxy, as reverse proxy (but not exclusively, there's also webmail).
- http://webmail.example.com/cloud : the URL under which I would like http://cloud.example.com to appear.
How I tried to do it
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName webmail.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/roundcubemail-1.1.4
Loglevel debug
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/roundcube.error
# %t : Time

# %>s : Final status

# was "combined"
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/roundcube.access custom

First line of the log shows that requesting the "/cloud/" path successfully retrieves the ressource from the the proxied website, but all subsequent ressources aren't fetched from the cloud server but from the webmail server itself.
How can I take care of this ?
I have proxy_html enabled.

As suggested by @HBruijn I've added
But then the server received requests for /index.php/apps/files/, so I added that as well
Got rid of all the 404 errors, but couldn't get owncloud to work nevertheless.
http://webmail.example.com/cloud redirects to http://webmail.example.com/index.php/apps/files/ which displays this nice error :
EDIT : fixed !, some additional configuration was needed on owncloud's part, namely trusted_proxies and overwritewebroot.
