[users@httpd] Path base virtualhost ?
Hello,
I would like to know if it's possible to configure apache in the way
it would answer to urls like 'http://example.com/appname' as it would
serve 'http://appname.example.com/'.
I don't know if I'm clear enough:
- 'appname' is installed in a standalone way on a server
- there is a reverse proxy that is set-up to redirect requests from
users on the right application given the name of this application
(http://example.com/appname, http://example.com/appname2, ...).
- the application 'appname' is designed to run at the root of the
domain name (http://appname.example.com)
- can apache deal with this problem and "fake" that 'appname' is
running in another path on the server ?
I don't know if this could be done with virtualhost or rewrite rules or ...
What is your advise ?
Thanks,
Manuel

This is exactly what I want.

This is essentially the reverse of what is normally asked for with
dynamic virtual hosting.
>From you message, what I understand is that you app must live at the
root of the name-space, but you want it to be accessed as the
subdirectory of another server. The only way I know to do that is with
a reverse proxy:
ProxyPass /appname2 http://appname.example.com
ProxyPassReverse /appname2 http://appname.example.com
That will work to a degree, but if appname.example.com has links in
the html pages that are not relative to the current directory, the
client will pop right out of the /appname2 space. In this case, you'll
need mod_proxy_html as well. See:
