SOLVED Subdomain to a local port

[Brady.Gunn_Anishinabek]

Hi, I am trying to point subdomain.mydomain.ca to mydomain.ca:4345.

I found this thread: Jira mod_proxy subdomain

but I am having trouble getting it to work. Following their example I replace (s1.domain.com) with (www.mydomain.com) correct?

Are there any other steps to get this to work.

Hey there! Yes, in that example, that's what I would expect to work. We have some additional details on this process here that you might find helpful:

For some reason this makes the main domain point to the port as well.

For clarify we have a domain and subdomain on the same account. I am trying to make a specific port go to subdomain.ca but when I do the following in the Pre Virtualhost include it makes the main domain point to it

"
ProxyPass /.well-known !
ProxyPass / http://www.subdomain.ca:1234/
ProxyPassReverse / http://www.subdomain.ca/
"

If they are both sharing the same vhost, that won't work. If the subdomain was created in cPanel, we should also have created a separate Apache vhost for the subdomain, which typically looks like this:

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
  ServerName subdomain.domain.com
    ServerAlias www.subdomain.domain.com
  DocumentRoot /home/username/home/subdomaindirectory
  ServerAdmin [email protected]

Do you not see a separate vhost for your subdomain?

In in the include file? It is blank, there is nothing in there

 

[cPRex]

Not in the include file, but in Apache itself. If the include file applies to the entire domain, that is why it would be redirecting all content.

 

[Brady.Gunn_Anishinabek]

Where would I look to check for the subdomain vhost? How would I only redirect with the specific subdomain

 

[cPRex]

You would just want to check the main Apache configuration to ensure a separate vhost exists. That's at /etc/apache2/conf/httpd.conf.

To only redirect the one specific subdomain, you would use the include file specific to that subdomain's vhost.

I am having issues finding the apache2 folder, There is an /etc/ folder in the root of the server, but it doesn't have a sub-directory of apache2.

 

[cPRex]

That's definitely odd. Could you submit a ticket to our team so we can check this out?

 

[Brady.Gunn_Anishinabek]

Wait nevermind I found the file. The subdomain does have the code you specified in the httpd.conf file for the subdomain. Now that I've confirmed there is a seperate vhost what do I need to do?

It states the location for an include file:
"
# To customize this VirtualHost use an include file at the following location
# Include "/etc/apache2/conf.d/userdata/std/2_4/[USERNAME]/[SUBDOMAIN]/*.conf"
"

So I would need to create a file at the specified location then add the the ProxyPassReverse?

 

[cPRex]

At the bottom of each vhost you'll see this message:

  # To customize this VirtualHost use an include file at the following location
  # Include "/etc/apache2/conf.d/userdata/std/2_4/username/sub.domain.com/*.conf"

so that is where you'd want to create your custom include file. You may not have anything deeper than /etc/apache2/conf.d/userdata/std/2_4/ so the other directories may need to be created before you can place your conf file there. You can name the conf file anything you wish - as long as it ends in .conf it can be read by the system.

 

[Brady.Gunn_Anishinabek]

Ok so once I make that file I write to it:
"
ProxyPass /.well-known !
ProxyPass / http://www.subdomain.ca:1234/
ProxyPassReverse / http://www.subdomain.ca/
"

Then do I need to restart the server?

 

[cPRex]

Yes, you'll just want to restart Apache after creating that include file so it will be read into the system.

 

[Brady.Gunn_Anishinabek]

That did it, thanks for all the help!

I'm glad that worked well!!!
