Topic: [RESOLVED] mod_proxy subfolder exclude isn't working

[weiminlee]

Hello,

I have installed 2.4.9 64-bit vc11 on Windows 2008R2 with mod_jk 1.2.39. I have mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http enabled. I have mod_jk to proxy Tomcat which is running Interwoven/Autonomy LiveSite Display Services.

I'm trying to proxy / to a subfolder in Tomcat, but I also need to exclude other folders from the proxy. I've tried all variations using the exclude(!) descriptor, but nothing seems to work. Below is my virtual host configuration.

Has anyone ever notice the proxy exclusion descriptor to not work?

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin myemail
DocumentRoot "D:/Apache24/htdocs"
ServerName sitename.org
ServerAlias *.sitename.org
ErrorLog "logs/sitename.error.log"
CustomLog "logs/sitename.access.log" common
ProxyRequests off

<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>

ProxyPass /folder1/ http://127.0.0.1/html/siteroot/folder1/
ProxyPass /site-resources !
ProxyPass /site-assets !
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1/siteroot/

JkMount /* lsds_worker
</VirtualHost>

My access log show the following message with the above configuration...

...the above just keeps appending until the server runs out of threads and I reboot apache.

The excludes need to be set before the other proxypass rules

I was able to solve my requirement with the following...

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin myemail
DocumentRoot "D:/Apache24/htdocs"
ServerName sitename.org
ServerAlias *.sitename.org
ErrorLog "logs/sitename.error.log"

<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/html/sitename/(.*) /$1 [L,R]
RewriteRule ^/sitename/(.*) /$1 [L,R]
RewriteRule ^/$ /default.page [L,R]
