Hi Frank,

Thanks for the email response and much appreciated. I added the ProxyPass /index.html !  directive in /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpnodejs.conf 

#cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpnodejs.conf

when I hit https://phpnodejs.mydomain.com/ it still points to the nodejs server.js file located in /var/www/html/nodejssl. For testing purposes, I stopped the node js code to execute. I get the below message on the browser which is expected behaviour. 

I am still unable to render the index.html file from the document root in /var/www/html/htmlcode which I created a new folder for testing purposes.  

Please suggest and guide me. Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Hi,

I have referred to https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_dir.html by adding DirectoryIndex index.html directive in 443 virtualhost. The issue still persists.

#cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpnodejs.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerName phpnodejs.mydomain.com
    Redirect / https://phpnodejs.mydomain.com/
 </VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/htmlcode

        DirectoryIndex index.html
        ServerName phpnodejs.mydomain.com
        Header add Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/phpnodejs.mydomain.com/cert.pem
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/phpnodejs.mydomain.com/privkey.pem
        SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/phpnodejs.mydomain.com/chain.pem
        Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains"

        ProxyPass /index.html !
        ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/
</VirtualHost>

Please suggest further and guide me. Thanks in advance.
