用代理重写Apache 2.2

Question

Using Apache 2.2 on an older Ubuntu (12.04)...

Would like to have a path that proxies to another domain (but leaving the URL in the browser unchanged). Tried the following since Proxy stuff isn't allowed in htaccess (assuming not for Apache 2.2 but maybe later versions):

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ProxyRequests Off
  ProxyPreserveHost On

  SSLProxyEngine on

  <Proxy *>
    Allow from all
  </Proxy>

  ProxyPass /axis <some domain>
  ProxyPassReverse /axis <some domain>
</VirtualHost>

This works but not when target domain redirects. For example, if the some domain redirects to /somepath then instead of pointing to http://<my domain>/axis/somepath the result is http:://<my domain>/somepath which isn't defined.

Question is how to force everything under a path on my domain (eg /axis ) to match up with another domain?

Answer 1

An app should either know about the URL structure used to access it, be very good at deducing it, or use well-crafted relative URLs (not root-relative) so that it essentially doesn't matter. The issue is that the content must contain the public URLs, otherwise you have to post-process everything, which is difficult and error-prone.

Try moving the <some domain> site's content from the root directory to an axis sub-directory. You may have to change some things but at least the URL structures will be identical.

If the system is not designed to be run from a sub-directory, you'll have no (reliable) choice other than fix the URLs it creates.
