Apache ReverseProxy different paths

Question

I would like to proxy specific URL paths to different internal ports:

example.com/transmission -> localhost:9091
example.com -> standard apache file server

I have the following in my apache conf file:

ProxyPass /transmission/ http://localhost:9091/
ProxyPassReverse /transmission/ http://localhost:9091/

The problem is that if I access example.com/transmission, it hits localhost:9091 fine, and then gets forwarded to example.com/transmission/web which produces a 'file not found' error.

For some reason, the exact path /transmission is working, but /transmission/anythingelse is not. I have played around with various combinations of adding/removing slashes, but to no avail.

Did you restart Apache after the changes to the config? The symptoms you're seeing do not match with the configuration that you've provided. — Shane Madden, Jul 23 '12 at 06:28
So, `/transmission` proxies? Because with the config you're provided, it shouldn't.. — Shane Madden, Jul 24 '12 at 02:55

Use the ProxyPassMatch directive instead.
