How can I configure mod_proxy to ProxyPass everything except X VirtualHosts?

Question

The question is while restarting the windows service whether windows kills the service or it waits for the process to finish. As i remember in linux the "restart" command will kill all the child process.

Thanks in advance. I searched the question in this forum but didn't find.

Solution 1

The first vhost in the file (or that is included) is the default, and is where it will fall through to. Thus, just make the first vhost be the proxy, then a second that is www.acme.com.

Solution 2

If you don't have a VirtualHost definition match (based on ServerName/ServerAlias), Apache will serve your request with the first VirtualHost. (See the docs).

Set up a virtual host with a name like 000-first, and put your ProxyPass configuration in that. They are included in directory sort order.

Yes, it waits. What problem are you trying to solve?

This kind of question really belongs on serverfault.com or superuser.com. They are sister sites to Stack Overflow and are about general computer nerdery, whereas SO is specifically about programming. Sorry to be "that guy".

So I renamed the "jetty" file to "default" tossing the original one that comes with apache. I then made a www.test.com file, published it via a2ensite, and confirmed that sites-enabled contained "000-default" and "www.test.com". I then modified my host file (on Windows) with an entry mapping www.test.com to my server. Unfortunately it's still rendering through the proxy/Jetty.

Run apache2ctl -S and see what the output is. Make sure it sees two vhosts, and that the right one is marked as "default".
