Path based routing in AWS ALB to single host with multiple ports

Question

I want to create an ALB which should route my traffic based on path to different websites. For example.

example.com/apple/ should go to 8080

example.com/grapes/ should go to 8180

example.com/oranges/ should go to 8280

Could you please guide me, how can i achieve this.

What i have tried so far is below.

1. Create listener on port 80 and created different target groups for different port then in rules 80--->8080((If path /apples/) ),80--->8180(If path /grapes/)

But this approach is not working and traffic is only working for default route.

2. If i create listener for each port like 8080 --?8080(Target group) then my Load balancer URL would be like

LB:PORT/Path/

I do not want port in the URL.

Please help

Here is the way to work with path based routing

• Create Target group ( valid VPC, PORT, Proper health check )
• Add instance to the target group
• Go to LB and click on the existing listener
• Create new Rule and Add the new target group
• Verify Health check

As I see a similar question many times so posting screens shoot according to above steps.

Edit and add the instances

Go to AlB and select listener

Add rule and save
