Apache redirect to another port

Question

I ve struggled with this for some time and am definitely doing something wrong     I have apache server and a JBoss server on the same machine   I d like to redirect traffic for mydomain com to JBoss localhost 8080 example   The DNS is currently setup for mydomain com and it will go straight to port 80 when entered into the browser     My question is how do I redirect to a different port when a certain domain name comes to apache  in this case   mydomain com      lt VirtualHost ip addr is here gt     ProxyPreserveHost On   ProxyRequests Off   ServerName mydomain com   ProxyPass http   mydomain com http   localhost 8080 example   ProxyPassReverse http   mydomain com http   localhost 8080 example  lt  VirtualHost gt     UPDATED w  Suggestions - Still not forwarding to port 8080   lt VirtualHost   80 gt     ProxyPreserveHost On   ProxyRequests Off   ServerName mydomain com   ServerAlias www mydomain com   ProxyPass http   mydomain com http   localhost 8080 example   ProxyPassReverse http   mydomain com http   localhost 8080 example  lt  VirtualHost gt

I wanted to do exactly this so I could access Jenkins from the root domain.

I found I had to disable the default site to get this to work. Here's exactly what I did.

$ sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/jenkins

And insert this into file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ProxyPreserveHost On
  ProxyRequests Off
  ServerName mydomain.com
  ServerAlias mydomain
  ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/
  <Proxy *>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
  </Proxy>
</VirtualHost>

Next you need to enable/disable the appropriate sites:

$ sudo a2ensite jenkins
$ sudo a2dissite default
$ sudo service apache2 reload

Hope it helps someone.

All are excellent insights to accessing ports via domain names on virtual servers  Do not forget  however  to enable virtual servers  this may be commented out   NameVirtualHost   80  lt Directory   home dawba www   gt   allow from all  lt  Directory gt    We run WSGI with an Apache server at the domain sxxxx com and a golang server running on port 6800  Some firewalls seem to block domain names with ports  This was our solution    lt VirtualHost   80 gt   ProxyPreserveHost On  ProxyRequests Off  ServerName wsgi sxxxx com  DocumentRoot   home dxxxx www     lt Directory   home dxxx www  gt      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks     AllowOverride None     Order allow deny     Allow from all    lt  Directory gt   ScriptAlias  py    home dxxxx www py    WSGIScriptAlias  wsgiprog  home dxxxx www wsgiprog Form Start wsgi  lt  VirtualHost gt    lt VirtualHost   80 gt   ProxyPreserveHost On  ProxyRequests Off  ServerName sxxxx com   ServerAlias www sxxxx com  ProxyPass   http   localhost 6800   ProxyPassReverse   http   localhost 6800   lt  VirtualHost gt

You should leave out the domain http   example com in ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse and leave it as    Additionally  you need to leave the   at the end of example  to where it is redirecting  Also  I had some trouble with http   example com vs  http   www example com - only the www worked until I made the ServerName www example com  and the ServerAlias example com  Give the following a go    lt VirtualHost   80 gt     ProxyPreserveHost On   ProxyRequests Off   ServerName www example com   ServerAlias example com   ProxyPass   http   localhost 8080 example    ProxyPassReverse   http   localhost 8080 example   lt  VirtualHost gt     After you make these changes  add the needed modules and restart apache  sudo a2enmod proxy  amp  amp  sudo a2enmod proxy http  amp  amp  sudo service apache2 restart

You need 2 things    Add a ServerAlias www mydomain com to your config change your proxypass to ProxyPassMatch        http   localhost 8080 example 1  to possibly keep mod dir and trailing slashes from interferring

My apache listens to 2 different ports    Listen 8080 Listen 80     I use the 80 when i want a transparent URL and do not put the port after the URL useful for google services that wont allow local url    But i use the 8080 for internal developing where i use the port as a reference for a  dev environment

You have to make sure that the proxy is enabled on the server  You can do so by using the following commands     a2enmod proxy   a2enmod proxy http    service apache2 restart

Just use a Reverse Proxy in your apache configuration  directly    ProxyPass  foo http   foo example com bar ProxyPassReverse  foo http   foo example com bar   Look here for apache documentation of how to use the mod

This might be an old question  but here s what I did   In a  conf file loaded by apache    lt VirtualHost   80 gt    ServerName something com   ProxyPass   http   localhost 8080   lt  VirtualHost gt    Explanation  Listen on all requests to the local machine s port 80   If I requested  http   something com somethingorother   forward that request to  http   localhost 8080 somethingorother    This should work for an external visitor because  according to the docs  it maps the remote request to the local server s space   I m running Apache 2 4 6-2ubuntu2 2  so I m not sure how the  -2ubuntu2 2  affects the wider applicability of this answer   After you make these changes  add the needed modules and restart apache  sudo a2enmod proxy  amp  amp  sudo a2enmod proxy http  amp  amp  sudo service apache2 restart

Apache supports name based and IP based virtual hosts  It looks like you are using both  which is probably not what you need   I think you re actually trying to set up name-based virtual hosting  and for that you don t need to specify the IP address   Try  lt  VirtualHost   80  to bind to all IP addresses  unless you really want ip based virtual hosting  This may be the case if the server has several IP addresses  and you want to serve different sites on different addresses  The most common setup is  I would guess  name based virtual hosts

If you don t have to use a proxy to JBoss and mydomain com 8080 can be  exposed  to the world  then I would do this    lt VirtualHost   80 gt    ServerName mydomain com   Redirect 301   http   mydomain com 8080   lt  VirtualHost gt

Found this out by trial and error  If your configuration specifies a ServerName  then your VirtualHost directive will need to do the same  In the following example  awesome example com and amazing example com would both be forwarded to some local service running on port 4567   ServerName example com 80   lt VirtualHost example com 80 gt    ProxyPreserveHost On   ProxyRequests Off   ServerName awesome example com   ServerAlias amazing example com   ProxyPass   http   localhost 4567    ProxyPassReverse   http   localhost 4567   lt  VirtualHost gt    I know this doesn t exactly answer the question  but I m putting it here because this is the top search result for Apache port forwarding  So I figure it ll help somebody someday
