Apache - ProxyPass issue -- pls suggest

[vivek aggarwal <vicky007aggarwal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

 

I am not able to forward the request from apache to tomcat when i am using the following configuration for ProxyPass elements :

 

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName vicky.com
ProxyPass /    http://localhost:8080/kdah
ProxyPassReverse /    http://localhost:8080/kdah
ErrorLog logs/vicky_error.log
</VirtualHost>

But its working when i am using the context root(any  string value eg:- /kd ) as mentioned below

 

 

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName vicky.com
ProxyPass /kd   http://localhost:8080/kdah
ProxyPassReverse /kd   http://localhost:8080/kdah
ErrorLog logs/vicky_error.log
</VirtualHost>

Please suggest why is it like that ??????
