Coma in url after proxy with Apache

Question

I'm using Apache to proxy all requests from my domain to my Odoo server.

Then to proxy all requests from my customers URLs to their respective databases (sub-domain of my domain).

Here's what my config looks like:

################
# welcome page #
################

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName mydomain.fr
    ServerAlias www.mydomain.fr
    DocumentRoot /var/www/odoo
</VirtualHost>


#################
# wilcard proxy #
#################

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName mydomain.fr
    ServerAlias *.mydomain.fr

    ErrorLog /var/log/odoo/odoo-error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/odoo/odoo-access.log combined
    LogLevel warn

    <Proxy *>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
    </Proxy>

    ProxyRequests Off
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyPass / http://mydomain.fr:8089/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://mydomain.fr:8089/

    ProxyVia On
</VirtualHost>


##################
# customer proxy #
##################

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName customer-domain.fr
    ServerAlias www.customer-domain.fr

    ProxyRequests Off
    ProxyPass / http://customer-domain.mydomain.fr/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://customer-domain.mydomain.fr/

    ProxyVia On
</VirtualHost>


################
# restrictions #
################

<Location /web/database>
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 1.2.3.4
    Allow from 5.6.7.8
</Location>

Now, when I go to customer-domain.fr, after I click a few internal links, I'm redirected to customer-domain.fr, customer-domain.mydomain.fr.

Which is weird, because it's as if Apache somehow appended the target URL at the end of the source url of the proxy. I tried with Chrome, Firefox, and someone else house.

What causes this coma to appear, and how to prevent this ?

Update

I commented out the <Proxy *> section.

So, I did some tests with the console:

clear cache
go to customer-domain.fr -> no problem here, I receive a 200 response on the exact domain I requested.

try installing mod_rewrite and add this directly under "ProxyRequest Off" - "RewriteEngine on" — Orphans, Jan 13 '17 at 09:31
also, this should be added right below ProxyPassReverse: RewriteRule ^/$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/ [L,R=301] — Orphans, Jan 13 '17 at 09:37
I added that in the # wilcard proxy # section, but now I got a "Problem loading page" — Yann, Jan 13 '17 at 09:43
I don't see how mod_rewrite is needed here and that rewrite may very well add a loop. I believe the key here is those links he clicks, exactly where do they point?, and the use of ProxyPreserveHost on. Also remove Proxy * entry if you don't want a forward proxy, as you seem you don't want when you are also using proxyrequests off. There is need for more specific detail here, and using mod_rewrite as a magic duct and tape recipe to workaround things is not the solution imho. Run away from mod_rewrite unless it is strictly necessary to use it. — ezra-s, Jan 13 '17 at 11:20
Use the webconsole or a web browser or curl to know exactly when you get redirected like that, that detail is needed — ezra-s, Jan 13 '17 at 11:25
Thanks for your help. The goal is to serve specific Odoo databases to customers URLs. However, Odoo is already configured to serve databases which match requested subdomains. That's why I need to do : some-customer-domain.com -> database.my-domain.com -> my-domain.com:8069 | The second proxy works really well. The first one is causing trouble. I'll add more details if I can get more informations with curl or something else. — Yann, Jan 13 '17 at 13:23
