I'm trying to configure Apache HTTPD 2.4 to front two different applications being hosted on the same server.

App1 is reachable on port 8080 (Tomcat)

mysingledomain.com:8080

App2 is reachable on port 3030 (Ruby [Dashing])

mysingledomain.com:3030

What I want to do is reach them respectively as mysingledomain.com/App1 and mysingledomain.com/App2

My situation is a lot like how this question start: Host 2 Sites in HTTPD

These are both SPA applications but I'm getting quite confused on how to set this up when I do not have a DocumentRoot to separate the configuration.

How would I setup HTTPD to front the HTTP requests in this manner?

I was able to configure the ruby application to adhere to a subpath with the following configuration, but this affects the other:

<VirtualHost *:80> ProxyRequests On # <---- WARNING DO NOT DO THIS ProxyVia On ProxyPreserveHost On RewriteEngine On ProxyPass "/app2" "http://192.168.0.62:3030/" retry=0 ProxyPassReverse "/app2/" "http://192.168.0.62/" RewriteRule "^/assets/(.*)" "/app2/assets/$1" [R] RewriteRule "^/views/(.*)" "/app2/views/$1" [R] </VirtualHost>

  • DO NOT USE ProxyRequests On. This will enable forward-proxying which is NOT what you want. Commented Dec 15, 2016 at 23:09

It should be as simple as this:

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName mysingledomain.com ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass /App1/ http://127.0.0.1:8080/ ProxyPassReverse /App1/ http://127.0.0.1:8080/ ProxyPass /App2/ http://127.0.0.1:3030/ ProxyPassReverse /App2/ http://127.0.0.1:3030/ </VirtualHost>

But the how cant I get setup the RewriteCond for this. The RewriteRule should only affect the Ruby application (App2).
There was nothing about Rewrite in your question :). What URL exactly do you want to rewrite, and to what?
I'd like to rewrite the response coming back from http://192.168.0.62:3030/. The Rewrite in the question does that, but seems The problem is, the response header says the referrer is 192.168.0.62 so i had to use the Reverse definition from the question
I don't understand what are you trying to achieve (beside simple proxying to two backend apps, depending on the URI): mod_rewrite is rewriting requests, not responses; Referer: is request header, not response header. What exactly doesn't work if you just use the ProxyPass directives as above, can you give an example?
Thanks, I figured out that my issue isn't the app server as much as it is the application I'm trying to host.
