I have a spring web application running in tomcat which I can access using https://example:8080/myApp. I have installed Apache2 to redirect port 443 requests to tomcat. now I can Access my application without the port number. I have installed SSL certificate using LetsEncrypt and all HTTP requests are forwarded to https. when I enter my domain in the browser, it is taking me to tomcat home, not to my web app. This is my virtual host config for 443
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
JKMount /* ajp13_worker
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests Off
ServerAdamin webmaster@myDomain
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
ProxyPass https://example.com http://localhost:8080/myApp
ProxyPassReverse https://example.com http://localhost:8080/myApp
<!--ssl details-->
</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>
Why it is not redirecting to myApp
. Any help will be appreciated. Please ask if you need more details.

When using two arguments on
ProxyPass
it does not take a full URL as the first argument, only the path.The trailing slash is also important.
