Hi,
Let me clarify more:
I have the main http.conf file and created another http.conf to run another
apache instance on port 8094.
I then created a DNS alias (let’s say called alias2) and put these lines
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName alias2
ProxyPass / http://localhost: 8094/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost: 8094/
</VirtualHost>
This previously worked like a charm on a server where apache was running on
port 80.
I suspect that this time, the aliasing is not working perhaps because apache
has:
Listen 8088 and
Listen 80
In the config file.
This is the only difference.
With the configuration above, on the current system, http://host and
http://alias2 go to http://host:8094 while I want only http://alias2 to go to
http://host:8094.
To note that http://host and http://host:8088 refer to the same page
thanks,
