ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse do string manipulation of the URL. This is your non-working example: ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/kdah ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/kdah The first line says "Replace the string '/' with the string 'http://localhost:8080/kdah' at the start of the URL". So, if the URL is '/example/page", the replacement is "http://localhost:8080/kdahexample/page"; - does that look right? The second line says "In certain response headers, replace the string 'http://localhost:8080/kdah' with the string '/' at the start of the URL". So, if the URL is "http://localhost:8080/kdah/example";, the replacement is "//example" - does that look right? The reason they don't look right is that the URLs do not match up correctly. If the URL on the left ends in a '/', so must the one on the right, or the string manipulations will not work correctly. Eg: ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/kdah ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/kdah Neither of these two are right, because the URLs on the left end in a '/' and the URLs on the right do not. The following should work correctly. ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/kdah/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/kdah/ I wish some note about 'match the slashes' up could go in the documentation, I follow this simple rule and never have any issues setting up reverse proxies.
