tvaughan77 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I have an Apache2 server [:80] that acts as a proxy to a Tomcat server [:8180] The Apache server is set up to use virtual hosts, which is working fine. We just deployed a new application on Tomcat which creates a bunch of different URLs that point back to itself, like this: http://joe-preview.foo.com/ http://tom-preview.foo.com/ etc. The only difference is the user name in the first part of the domain name. I *could* create a different ServerName and ProxyPass configuration for each and every user, but I suspect there's a better way to do that. How can I get a virtual host to dynamically proxypass URLs to Tomcat? What I want to have happen is this mapping: http://joe-preview.foo.com/ --> http://joe-preview.foo.com:8180/ http://tom-preview.foo.com/ --> http://tom-preview.foo.com:8180/ Thanks in advance!

corbin Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 You could try with mod_rewrite with a rewrite rule that uses mod_proxy. Haven't messed with mod_proxy in a rewrite condition in a while though..... Also, that could add more overhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
