I have apache server 2.4.18 on centos as a web server in the front end. Now I have multiple websites which are deployed on tomcat 8.0.33 as webapps in the default webapps folder of tomcat.
Configuration on apache end:
<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
ServerName abc.com
ServerAlias www.abc.com
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8079/abc/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8079/abc/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
ServerName def.com
ServerAlias www.def.com
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8079/def/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8079/def/
</VirtualHost>
Two .war files by the name, abc.war & def.war are deployed to tomcat webapps folder.
abc.com works absolutely fine, as it is just an html site.
but def.com is a dynamic site & it has a login form on home page. The home page after successful login should load user profile page which is: login page url -> def.com user profile page -> def.com/profile.htm
Note that the home page loads successfully (means GET is executing successfully) on browser but when user tries to login(which is a POST request), it somehow tries to load: def.com/def/profile.htm
Also note that if I change configuration to :
<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
ServerName def.com
ServerAlias www.def.com
ProxyPass /def/ http://localhost:8079/def/
ProxyPassReverse /def/ http://localhost:8079/def/
</VirtualHost>
then I am successfully able to open def.com/def/ & I can also successfully able to login & open def.com/profile.htm but I want my home page to be on def.com
