I have 2 applications hosted on a single apache tomcat on port 8080
>

  • http://mydomain.com:8080/application1
  • http://mydomain.com:8080/application2

I would like to run an apache proxy in front of BOTH of them with the following behaviour
>

  • http://mydomain.com/* (apache2) -> http://mydomain.com:8080/application1/* (tomcat)
  • http://subdomain.mydomain.com/* (apache2) -> http://mydomain.com:8080/application2/* (tomcat)

The best I have got right now is 2 machines with different IPs and routing the domain and subdomains correspondingly.

Ideally I want the apache proxy and the 2 apps to be on the SAME machine…

Can anyone with kick arse DEVOps skills assist?

    In addition to @Jon Lin answer, consider using ProxyPassReverse also, just in case your app do any redirects. It makes Apache correct URL’s on responses (More about ProxyPassReverse). It will look like that:

    <VirtualHost subdomain.mydomain.com:80>
    ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/application1/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/application1/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost mydomain.com:80>
    ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/application1/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/application1/
</VirtualHost>

    I hope it helps.
