I have this redirect (in Apache 2.4 VirtualHost *:80 configurations), which redirects example.com over to example.com/api/ (subfolder) and it works flawlessly.
Once I enter http://example.com into the browser, it takes me directly to http://example.com/api/.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule (.*) /api$1 [R,L]
Now, what I need is for this to work transparently. I want http://example.com/api to load directly on the root domain: http://example.com
I've tried all kinds of suggestions I found on the internet, but nothing that would hide/mask the subfolder from the final URL that shows in the browser.
I figured there is an easier solution to this. I am running my app on a Tomcat server behind Apache and thus adding the following to Apache rules into VirtualHost config fixed the issue with subfolder transparency.
ProxyAddHeaders off
ProxyPass / http://server-host-for-example-com:8080/connect/
ProxyPassReverse / http://server-host-for-example-com:8080/connect/

I have one domain and a sub domain like cloud.example.com and example.com.
I need to redirect all cloud.example.com to example.com with the following condition.
cloud.example.com to www.example.com/customers/login
cloud.example.com/<any url> to www.example.com/<any url>
I have added the bellow code in my apache config file of cloud.example.com
ServerName cloud.example.com
Redirect 301 / https://www.example.com/customer/login
Now cloud.example.com successfully redirecting to https://www.example.com/customer/login but all other pages are not working .That are redirecting to www.example.com/customer/login
How to solve this issue?
The best way is to use rewrite rules.
RewriteRule ^/$ https://www.example.com/customer/login [R]
RewriteRule ^/(.+) https://www.example.com/$1 [R]
Dont forget to add the module and enable the RewriteEngine
I have a requirement where I have to redirect my hostname to particular application which is again hosted on same Apache. Let's take an example, When I hit on host(https://domain1.example.com), It should internally redirect me to Apache Web Application (https://domain1.example.com/application1) without changing the browser URL.
I am not sure how to achieve SSL to SSL redirection. Thanks in Advance..!!!
This should work. This will redirect all incoming urls that are going to domain1.example.com/ to domain1.example.com/application1
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain1.example.com$
RewriteRule ^$ https://domain1.example.com/application1 [L,R=301]
If without changing browsing URL is your goal then PROXY is your way.
Put following in your apache vhost or global file,
ProxyPass https://domain1.example.com/ https://domain1.example.com/application1
ProxyPassReverse https://domain1.example.com/ https://domain1.example.com/application1
PS shibboleth has nothing to do with this, at least you have not mentioned any case.
EDIT
ProxyPass should come to virtural host not in location
Ideally all the location tag should be out of virtual host
I am using amazon ec2 instance and i have created a load balancer and uploaded my SSL certificate. I am able to hit https://www.example.com but i can also hit http://www.example.com .So i want to force all the http to HTTPS. How can i do this?
I have tried:
<VirtualHost *:80>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} http
RewriteRule https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</VirtualHost>
But i get a blank page after restarting httpd.I can see the shortcut icon in the windows bar but i see a blank page. How can i fix this?
Have you tried https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/RedirectSSL? It is simpler to use when compared to rewrites. If you must use rewrites, give https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/RewriteHTTPToHTTPS a try
I am trying to use Apache as a proxy for an internal tomcat server, but the tomcat server performs a redirect that got me crazy
I first tried mod_proxy through:
ProxyPass / ajp://127.0.0.1:8045/bv-via-web/
ProxyPassReverse / ajp://127.0.0.1:8045/bv-via-web/
When accessing / (root) the internal server performs a redirect to /bv-via-web/hola which doesn't exist. It should redirect to /hola. How can I achieve this through the Apache config?
As a workaround I though I add the following:
ProxyPass /bv-via-web/ ajp://127.0.0.1:8045/bv-via-web/
ProxyPassReverse /bv-via-web/ ajp://127.0.0.1:8045/bv-via-web/
But that doesn't work as it will extend the url to an internal request of bv-via-web/bv-via-web/hola. So basically I want to change the url but don't know how that is possible with mod_proxy.
I then tried mod_rewrite, with the following:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/bv-via-web/(.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:8040/bv-via-web/$1 [P,L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:8040/bv-via-web/$1 [P,L]
But then when I open the root of the website it performs a redirect and http://127.0.0.1:8040/bv-via-web/hola appears in the browser address.
I don't understand, as it should work as an internal proxy due to the [P] flag.
What am I doing wrong ?
I solved it by adding:
ProxyPreserveHost On
Such it's not forwarded to the 127.0.0.1 as mentioned above.
So the total config snippet is:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/bv-via-web/(.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:8040/bv-via-web/$1 [P]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:8040/bv-via-web/$1 [P]
I'm trying to figure out how to properly do this. I'm hosting a domain that used to have a website also on the same server, however the website has now been moved to a different machine, but they want to keep the domain hosted on our DNS. Rather than changing the DNS record right now, I'm trying to figure out how to do a proxy redirect but I'm having some trouble.
Right now, I'm using the RewriteEngine to rewrite the URL as follows:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.org [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.domain.org/$1 [L,R]
This is in case someone looks up the website simply by http://domain.org it will get rewritten to http://www.domain.com - that works fine.
Now I need to redirect it to go to an IP address with a username:
http://111.222.333.444/~user
Rather than simply redirecting it to that address, I'd like to do a proxy where the domain will still be visible in the browser's address bar, while also keeping the above rule in place.
Suggestions anyone?
Make sure mod_proxy is enabled and do:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain.com
ProxyPass / http://111.222.333.444/~user
</VirtualHost>
