Apache mod_rewrite internally to different port

Question

Is it possible to internally redirect (so url won\'t change in address bar) with mod_rewrite to different port on same host? Eg

http://host.com:8080 -> http:/         


        

Answer 1

1, Enable mod_proxy

LoadModule  proxy_module         modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule  proxy_http_module    modules/mod_proxy_http.so

2, You should configure apache for vhost :

    ....
    ProxyPass / http://host.com:9999/myapplication/?param=val
    ProxyPassReverse / http://host.com:9999/myapplication/?param=val

3, Setup also VHost on port 9999
