Apache redirecting to a specific port
 
Hi all,

all same machine.

I have an apache webserver using VirtualHosts.

I have a Node server running on port 8080.

What i would like is to have my domain api.domain.com redirect to xx.xx.xx.xx:8080

I would like this to have a clean url that hits my node server.

TIA,
Tony

Hi,

You can define the vhost api.domain.com as a reverse proxy of the node server, i.e use something like the following:
Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName api.domain.com
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass / xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/
...
</VirtualHost>
Regards

Thank you for your reply. I have changed my httpd to this:

<VirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx:80>
ServerName api.domain.com
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass / xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/
</VirtualHost>

and i get:
Syntax error on line 1021 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
ProxyPass URL must be absolute!

Any ideas?

Thanks :)

My bad. It should be:
Code:
ProxyPass / http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/
