Subdomain under Apache to proxy into Tomcat - apache

Question

I'm having trouble with making a subdomain to my Windows computer while using AJP to proxy to Tomcat. This is what I have in my httpd.conf file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName subdomain.localhost
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/folder/
ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8009/folder/
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
The subdomain has been added to `c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 subdomain.localhost
When I go to http://localhost i goes straight to the proxy. When I go to http://subdomain.localhost i goes to the proxy as well. How do I make is so the subdomain only goes to the proxy and the regular goes to Apache?

Answer 1

You need to declare a second VirtualHost with localhost as the ServerName.

Answer 2

This should probably be moved to superuser.com but one thing to try:
<VirtualHost *:80> informs it to accept all incoming connections on port 80 to use these settings. I would try changing it to say:
<VirtualHost subdomain.localhost:80>
and see if that only applies these settings when the subdomain is used.
The ServerName tag that you put with the subdomain doesn't tell it who to listen for. The official documentation states:
The ServerName directive sets the
hostname and port that the server uses
to identify itself. This is used when
creating redirection URLs. For
example, if the name of the machine
hosting the web server is
simple.example.com, but the machine
also has the DNS alias www.example.com
and you wish the web server to be so
identified, the following directive
should be used:
