Apache Redhat – mod_proxy Not Working

apache-2.4mod-proxyredhatvirtualhost

We have the following scenario:

  • First APP: http://example.com:8090/access/app1
  • Second APP: http://example.com:8090/access/app2

We want to configure apache mod_proxy to assign:

  • http://app1.example.com >> http://example.com:8090/access/app1
  • http://app2.example.com >> http://example.com:8090/access/app2

We tried the following without success:

<VirtualHost app1.example.com:80>
      ServerName app1.example.com
      ProxyPass / http://example.com:8090/access/app1/
      ProxyPassReverse / http://example.com:8090/access/app1/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost app2.example.com:80>
      ServerName app2.example.com
      ProxyPass / http://example.com:8090/access/app2/
      ProxyPassReverse / http://example.com:8090/access/app2/
</VirtualHost>

Saved this into /etc/httpd/conf.d/myconfig.conf, then restart apache sudo service http restart.

When using a browser and writting http://app1.example.com the default Apache-Welcome-Page appears, but not our app1 page. Looks like the mod_proxy config is not working.

Setting errorlevel to DEBUG will show the following event in error_log:

[Tue Aug 07 14:18:04.748775 2018] [autoindex:error] [pid 1985] [client x.x.x.x:58843] AH01276: Cannot serve directory /var/www/html/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.html) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive

Any help will be appreciated

Configure your virtual host file as follow 

<VirtualHost *:80>
      ServerName app1.example.com
      ProxyPass /app1 http://example.com:8090/access/app1/
      ProxyPassReverse /app1 http://example.com:8090/access/app1/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
      ServerName app2.example.com
      ProxyPass /app2 http://example.com:8090/access/app2/
      ProxyPassReverse /app2 http://example.com:8090/access/app2/
</VirtualHost>
