I'm trying to map one virtual host to a subdirectory of another virtual host, something like this http://host2.com -> http://host1.com/host2. At this moment, whenever I go to http://host2.com it maps to http://host1.com instead of http://host1.com/host2

My default site file is this

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost ServerName "host1.com" <Directory /srv/www/host1> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Allow from all </Directory> DocumentRoot /srv/www/host1 WSGIScriptAlias / /srv/www/host1/apache/django.wsgi </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost ServerName "host2.com" DocumentRoot /srv/www/host1 <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> ProxyPass / http://host1.com/host2 ProxyPassReverse / http://host1.com/host2 </VirtualHost>

What am I missing? I'm not sure if it should matter, but I'm using Django with wsgi.

This can actually be accomplished using a single <VirualHost />, by using the ServerAlias directive. You can then use the RewriteRule to pass those requests to the proper directory, and by leaving off [R] you will just be rewriting the request, leaving the URL intact.

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost ServerName host1.com ServerAlias host2.com <Directory /srv/www/host1> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Allow from all </Directory> DocumentRoot /srv/www/host1 WSGIScriptAlias / /srv/www/host1/apache/django.wsgi RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} host2\.com [NC] RewriteRule (.*) /host2$1 [L] </VirtualHost>

Hope this helps.

Here's another post that might help: Redir

I haven't tested this below but you get the idea.

You could use redirecting:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.host2\.com [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://host1\.com\host2 [L,R=301]

  • hmmm. I was hoping reverse proxy would do it for me. Commented Mar 30, 2011 at 20:36
  • And in your solution the users will see new url, ie host1.com/host2. I want this part to be behind the scenes, the user should see only host.com Commented Mar 30, 2011 at 21:01
  • Ahh, I see. The only way I've preserved the URL in the browser Address Bar in the past is using a single pixel .gif image and a META REFRESH in HTML. Commented Mar 31, 2011 at 7:25
