[users@httpd] rewrite rules
hi,
I have 3 instances of apache each running on a separate port.
I have created a 4th instance on port 80 and 3 aliases so that when users want to access let’s say:
http://alias1 it goes to http://server:port1
http://alias2 it goes to http://server:port2
http://alias3 it goes to http://server:port3
http://server and http://alias1 and http://alias2 and http://alias3 refer to the 4th instance (port 80). I want to add rewrite rules so that it redirects to the corresponding apache instance.
I tried to edit httpd.conf of the 4th instance:
RewriteEngine On
ProxyPass /alias1/ http://alias1:5001/
ProxyPassReverse /alias1/ http://alias1:5001/
But http://alias1 still refers to http://alias1 whereas it should go to http://alias1:5001.
Any idea?
thank you

Hi Davide,
I followed your example and specified localhost in the VirtualHost
directive. it worked.
one more question please: for the other servers, I tried:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName alias1
ProxyPass / http://localhost:5001/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:5001/ </VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName alias2
ProxyPass / http://localhost:5002/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:5002/
</VirtualHost>
however, http://alias2 goes to http://localhost:5001.
could you please advise?

You did restarted your 'main' apache instance after changing the .conf
file and did cleaned up the cache of your browser, yes?

Hummm.. not sure if I understand what you mean with 'goes to port 80'...
This is what I just did:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName cups
ProxyPass / http://localhost:631/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:631/
</VirtualHost>
(cups runs on port 631 on my system) and I can get cups' interface by
using http://cups/. Of course, this goes to port 80 on my system and is
then 'proxied' to port 631.
What you mean with "goes to port 80" ? What sort of result you get in
your browser? What remains in your error_log or access_log ?

hi Davide,
both apache instances have the basic configuration. They have different port numbers: the main apache is on port 80 and the other 3 instances on 5001, 6001 and 7001.
In the main apache (port 80), I added as you suggested:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName alias1
ProxyPass / http://alias1:5001
ProxyPassReverse / http://alias1:5001
</VirtualHost>
but still http://alias1 goes to port 80 while I expect it to go to port 5001.
If you insist on the full config files, I will send it to you.
thank you.

Yes, the last part is done by the VHosts, post your configuration file.

Hi
the DNS already has this alias.
server = alias1 = alias2 = alias3
this is why http://alias1 = http://server
while I want : http://alias1 = http://server:5001 (that is another apache on this machine)
thanks

Well, you need to have somewhere a DNS (or an hosts file in your client)
that can 'resolve' http://alias1 to the IP of your machine.

Hi
I am not using virtualhosts because I need to restart each instance independently.
I am using a separate httpd.conf for each instance.
How to proceed? I tried the Virtualhost directive but http://alias1 does not redirect to http://alias1:5001
thank you

That's not the way ProxyPass works, what you need is VHosts. And BTW,
why did you created 3 instances instead of one instance with 3 VHosts
since the beginning?
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName alias1
ProxyPass / http://localhost:port1
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:port1
</VirtualHost>
repeat for all the 'aliases'
