ProxyPass and DocumentRoot on one domain

Question

Let's say I have the following configuration:

<VirtualHost domain.com>     # Server names, admins, logs etc...      ProxyVia On     ProxyRequests Off     <Location "/">         ProxyPass http://localhost:8080/tomcat-webapp/         ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:8080/tomcat-webapp/         Order allow,deny         Allow from all     </Location> </VirtualHost> 

Now, I want the address domain.com/forum to display content of my MyBB forum, which has its files inside the /var/www/forum directory. How to accomplish this?

Answer 1

Actually, I resolved this problem with the following code:

ProxyPass /forum ! ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/tomcat-webapp/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/tomcat-webapp/ Alias /forum /var/www/forum 

Answer 2

What it is recommending is using mod_rewrite to perform the ProxyPass instead of ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse command.

Try something like:

RewriteRule  ^/forum   -  [L] RewriteRule  ^/(.*)    http://localhost:8080/tomcat-webapp/$1  [P,L] ProxyPassReverse /     http://localhost:8080/tomcat-webapp/
