Hi All,
My Setup:
My website is served from apache with jboss acting as an application server. All of the webapp resides in jboss deployment directory. Apache talks to jboss using ProxyPass in development and AJP protocol in production.
My Goal:
I want to serve all the static content (e.g. css) out of apache directly reducing load on Jboss itself, as apache is much better at serving static content.
My Problem is:
I have a global proxypass rule in httpd.conf
ProxyPass /test/css http://myserver:7788/test/css
ProxyPassReverse /test/css http://myserver:7788/test/css
and I have a virtual host
Listen localhost:7788
NameVirtualHost localhost:7788
<VirtualHost localhost:7788>
Alias /test/css/ "C:/jboss/server/default/deploy/test.ear/test-web-app.war/css/"
</VirtualHost>
I would like to disable all global proxypass rules applying in this virtual host? NoProxy doesn't seem to work.
(The reason I would like to do this is I have below global rules which create a 502 proxy loop if applied within this virtual host
#pass all requests to application server
ProxyPass /test http://localhost:8080/test
ProxyPassReverse /test http://localhost:8080/test
)
What I'm trying to do is, serve all static content (like css) using apache, while still proxying all the rest of requests to the application server.
Any help or guidance would be really appreciated.
Cheers
Kishore
