Hello Team,

I am redirecting request from apache to backend server tomcat using mod_proxy_balancer.

The request is getting redirected but url is getting converted to backend server url.

For example :-

If apache web server url is http:\\server and backend server url is http:\\serverA.

when i access url http:\\server the request is redirecting to http:\\serverA but url is also getting changed and in browser it is showing http:\\serverA.

Kindly help me to resolve this issue.

You need ProxyPassReverse in that case. Example

<Location /tomcats/app1/>
     ProxyPass balancer://tomcats/app1/ stickysession=jssesionid|JSESSIONID nofailover=On lbmethod=byrequests
     ProxyPassReverse balancer://tomcats/app1/
     Order Deny,Allow
     Allow from all
