[users@httpd] url reformat - howto
Hi all!
Im running Java pages on my server. Basically, all pages will have a
direct url like http://mydomain.com:8080/mydir
What I did is for user not to type a long url by simply typing the
normal domain such as http://www.mydomain.com and redirecting to
http://www.mydomain.com:8080/mydir.
What appears to be my problem is how to avoid the whole
http://www.mydomain.com:8080/mydir url appear on the browser which is
when I type in the absolute domain, http://www.mydomain.com:8080/mydir
url will just map into http://www.mydomain.com which will eventually
appear on the client's browser.
Got any idea?

You ought to use
ProxyPass /mydir/ http://www.domain.com:8080/mydir/
(Mind the slashes).
Make sure that
http://www.domain.com:8080/mydir/whatever
works, before you use
http://mydomain.com/mydir/whatever
Furthermore you might have made an error in configuring your virtual host.

The content of index.html will be whatever you put in in.

Argh, this was supposed to go to the list, too...

Well, that is wrong, too:
ProxyPass /mydir http://www.domain.com:8080/mydir/
should be:
ProxyPass /mydir/ http://www.domain.com:8080/mydir/
The paths should match up as one is replaced by the other. Otherwise
requests will be routed as:
http://www.domain.com:8080/mydir//foo/bar.html
Now, when you go to:
http://mydomain.com.com/mydir/foo/bar.html
it will get reverse proxied to:
http://www.domain.com:8080/mydir/foo/bar.html
provided that it is actually getting to that virtual host in the first place :)
When you say it does not work, what do you mean? Are you getting an
error? What error? Have you checked logs/mydomain.com-access_log to
see if it was served by that virtual host? Have you checked access
logs on www.domain.com:8080 to see if it got there? Have you checked
your error logs?
What are the HTTP headers coming back to the browser? Perhaps there
is another redirect in there and then you will need an additional line
after the ProxyPass line:
ProxyPassReverse /mydir/ http://www.domain.com:8080/mydir/
Are you trying to reverse proxy to the same machine? If so, why? Why
don't you just listen to port 80 for your java pages?

This is what happens when you do a redirect:
- Browser requests http://www.mydomain.com
- Server answers with "I don't have this, but try
http://www.mydomain.com:8080/mydir in stead.
- Browser requests http://www.mydomain.com:8080/mydir
And for this reason the new URL apears on the adress line of the
browser. This is by design.
If you want to hide the fact that resources are not where they apear
to be you need to use reverse proxying, not redirection.
