I want to clear a doubt, it's possible in Apache to make "Alias" (Mask) to another port ??
Let I make a use of example:
In my Server I have Apache running in *:80 and another application running *:8080, Inside a domain called www.example.com.
So, What I'm think is if is possible and how can I do to make a "ALIAS" to if I use www.example.com\other to redirect to www.example.com:8080\gui.
And it is possible to mask this name to be example.com\other?
As said, I've enabled mod_proxy to use ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse
This was my first try with ProxyPass
ProxyPass /foo http://domain.com:5780
ProxyPassReverse /foo http://domain.com:5780
When I tried to access http://myown.com/foo it redirected to the domain selected but did not loaded the images, I did not saw that before because the images are at the page bottom.
I have read some page about mod_rewrite, mod_alias, redirect and mod_proxy, I've edited my apache config and it's not working properly.
The answer depends on what application is running on port 8080.
If it's a Java application running under Tomcat, consider mod_jk
If it's a Python WSGI application, consider modwsgi in daemon mode.
You could also use mod_proxy (eg. Apache mod_rewrite internally to different port).

I have a server with apache(2.4.18) installed
I have installed multiple applications on the server like Grafana, Sonarqube, and MySQL enterprise monitor(MEM)
Each application has URL like this
http://test.com:9000
http://test.com:3000
I am looking for a solution which allows me to redirect this URL with the port to URL with context, something like that
http://test.com:9000 --> http://test.com/sonar
http://test.com:3000 --> http://test.com/grafana
I have added some code in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf file
Redirect permanent /sonar http://test.com:9000
Redirect permanent /grafana http://test.com:3000
but when I enter http://test.com/sonar in the web browser it redirects to http://test.com:9000 URL only
I want http://test.com/sonar this URL to persists on Web browser
If you use Redirect permanent, server will send 301 response back to client (along with new Location). That will result in browser issuing a new request, this time to new Location, and also new location will be shown in browser address bar.
What you need is Reverse Proxy. For this you need to make sure that mod_proxy is enabled in your apache configuration (usually it is enabled by default), and put something like this in your .conf file:
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /sonar http://127.0.0.1:9000
ProxyPassReverse /sonar http://127.0.0.1:9000
ProxyPass /grafana http://127.0.0.1:3000
ProxyPassReverse /grafana http://127.0.0.1:3000
You will probably also have to make your applications aware that they are running under non-root context (by making some configuration changes):
http://docs.grafana.org/installation/behind_proxy/
https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/setup/install-server/
You need to proxy requests and not redirect them.
Use a ProxyPass directive as mentioned in the official apache proxy documentation
For example add this location block inside your configuration:
<Location "/sonar">
ProxyPass "http://test.com:9000"
</Location>
I have multiple web servers running on a given machine (Apache, Tomcat, custom Python servers). I have Apache listening on port 80, as is the standard setup. In order to access one of my other servers over this port, I setup a ProxyPass in Apache like this:
ProxyPass / http://[mydomainname]:8880/
ProxyPassReverse / http://[mydomainname]:8880/
It works. When you browse to the domain name, with no port spec (since 80 is implied), instead of reaching the Apache root, you are transparently redirected to the root of another server on the machine (a Twisted server) listening on port 8880.
Here's the problem. It seems I have blocked anything from reaching my Apache files now. Is there a way to override that root proxy pass for various sub directories? For example, if you browse to mydomain/test can I get that to work as though I had no proxy pass at all, rather than routing that to a path on the port 8880 server?
I found the answer on the SO thread: ProxyPass and DocumentRoot on one domain.
BEFORE the root ProxyPass directive, just add a ProxyPass exclusion and a directory alias. Note: repeat for each Apache sub directory to be exposed.
ProxyPass /MySubDirectory !
Alias /MySubDirectory /var/www/html/MySubDirectory
I have three sites hosted on liferay, and they use only one portal instance, therefore only one tomcat host.
I configured the virtual host properties on liferay, so when I type www.domain1.com, it goes to the right site.
However, when I type domain1.com, without the www prefix, it goes to the default liferay site.
One solution that I got was to do a proxy and rewrite server with apache 2, with mod_proxy_http and mod_rewrite modules.
The sites like domain1.com are rewritten to www.domain1.com, and I do a proxy pass like this:
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8085
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8085
The tomcat server listens to the 8085 port, and apache listens to 8080.
But when the proxy pass goes on, I get a 403 - forbidden status.
I don't have a site hosted on apache, and I think that's why I got this status.
But I don't want to have any sites on apache, because the sites are on tomcat.
Is there a way to do this proxy setup without hosting a site on apache? Or maybe hosting a
"dummy" site, just to get the proxypass to work.
Specs:
Liferay 6.1
, Tomcat 7.0.27
, Apache 2.x
, Ubuntu Server 12.04
Best Regards!

try it without "/"
ProxyPass http://localhost:8085
ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:8085
or, maybe, you can do it with tomcat configuration: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/host.html#Host_Name_Aliases
I have build an application with PrimeFaces and want to run that behind an apache reverse proxy.
My target url looks like this http://myserverurl.org:8080/myapplication/.
I want to access the application via subdomain like this http://myapplication.myserverurl.org.
I have configured a VirtualHost in apache:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName myapplication.myserverurl.org
ProxyPass / http://myserverurl.org:8080/myapplication/
ProxyPassReverse / http://myserverurl.org:8080/myapplication/
</VirtualHost>
That works not so well. I can see the JSF page, but there is no CSS applied etc. I can see that the first request is redirected correctly, but the following requests (to load jQuery, CSS, etc.) are not.
They try to access an url like http://myapplication.myserverurl.org/myapplication/faces/javax.faces.resource/primefaces.js?ln=primefaces which is obviously wrong. They must not include the /myapplication/ path again, since the proxy redirects already to that path.
How can I solve this issue? Is this a PrimeFaces problem or a problem with my reverse proxy configuration?
Using (or not using) AJP has no bearing on resolving this specific issue.
Primefaces internally uses context path variable to include CSS and Javascript resources. Even using AJP you will end up with:
/unwantedAppContext/javax.faces.resource/jquery/jquery.js.jsf?ln=primefaces
What you could do to resolve this add another proxy pass to handle the unwanted context. This may not be the best solution, but it works.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName myapplication.myserverurl.org
ProxyPass /myapplication/ http://myserverurl.org:8080/myapplication/
ProxyPassReverse /myapplication/ http://myserverurl.org:8080/myapplication/
ProxyPass / http://myserverurl.org:8080/myapplication/
ProxyPassReverse / http://myserverurl.org:8080/myapplication/
</VirtualHost>
The order of the pass matters.
This issue was also reported in the icefaces forum
http://www.icesoft.org/JForum/posts/list/4433.page#sthash.h1qSqiYg.dpbs
It may be different depending on the application server but, as a main rule, you should use AJP for the proxying.
First step is to enable ajp modules depending on OS. Ubuntu looks like this.
sudo a2enmod proxy proxy_ajp
Step 2, change the proxy definition in the apache conf to something like:
ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/myapplication
ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8009/myapplication
Step 3 is to enable it on the application server. Again, it varies depending of the one you use. Tomcat has a commented out section in the server.xml. Glassfish has a check-box in the admin console and an asadmin command (but I can't remember it)
Consider using ProxyHTMLURLMap directive from mod_proxy_html module. This module manipulates output HTML links to be pointed to the right location. In your case all the links that tell http://myapplication.myserverurl.org/ need to be changed back to /, i.e.
ProxyHTMLURLMap http://myapplication.myserverurl.org/ /
This way you can modify any call-back links that are pointing to wrong location.
Answer of jjhavokk works but
for Graphics you need to reference them via request.contextPath
<img src="#{request.contextPath}/resources/yourfolder/yourpng.png" />
Place it in webapp/resources/yourfolder/yourpng.png
With my .css file this was not needed
h:outputStylesheet name="css/screen.css"
in webapp/resources/css
How can I set up a reverse proxy with mod_proxy without redirecting to another server or IP? This will be a virtual host environment. The reason I want to do this is so that mod_proxy handles the communication with the client's browser thereby freeing up web server processes to serve the next request instead of feeding the client's browser. This is especially important when using language modules such as mod_php with MPM Prefork. The flow that I'm trying to achieve is:
1. The traffic resolves to www.mydomain.com on port 80.
2. The proxy sends the request the web server.
3. The web server sends the answer back to the proxy and disconnects from the proxy.
4. The proxy feeds the client browser.
Once that is working I want to add nginx at the same IP address but for port 81 and proxy image requests to nginx on the same server. I do not want nginx handling the proxy nor do I want FCGI anything. I want my standard Apache mod_rewrite and .htaccess to work.
Thanks Tons!
Simply redirect to the localhost on a different port? Host your application on port 8080, and use mod_proxy to forward the requests:
ProxyPass /foo http://localhost:8080/foo
ProxyPassReverse /foo http://localhost:8080/foo
This may be helpful if you have application servers that are handling requests and you want multiple instances combined on a single machine. You can use one port per application server.
I don't know if it really would be faster than just using mod_php directly. Proxying requests also adds overhead.
Make sure you also use load these 2 modules
LoadModule proxy_module bin/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module bin/mod_proxy_http.so
ProxyPass /TeamCity http://localhost/TeamCity
ProxyPassReverse /TeamCity http://localhost/TeamCity
