Configure Apache to serve static files at root while redirecting /branch requests to a backend application. Proxy directives work for ‘/’ but not for subdirectory paths.
DefineRoute / http://backendserver.local/
DefineRouteInverse / http://backendserver.local/
hey, im curious if its a trailing slash issue or a misconfig? maybe try tweaking your rewrite rules. i encountered similar probs with mod_proxies before. what have others seen and experimented with in this kind of setup?
hey, try setting ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse with careful trailing slash placement. i had issues when mine wasnt in sync. small config tweaks might solve the routing diff. good luck!
In settings similar to this, I discovered that a clearly defined ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse for the specific subdirectory can help maintain separation between static and dynamic content. I had improved overall functionality by ensuring that the backend server’s directives did not overlap with the root configuration. It is essential to validate the order in which Apache processes these directives; placing the proxy settings after the root configuration sometimes yields better results. Experimentation with explicit configuration for the subdirectory proved to be a worthwhile refinement in my tests.
hey, i’ve been playing around with a similar setup. what if u try more explicit rewrites for the subdir without messing up the root? any experiments with aliases or reordering directives? curious to see what others have tried
