Multiple virtualhosts with the same servername

Question

I have an apache server, a unique domain name and multiple tomcat instances, here is my actual config :

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName my.domain.com
...
ProxyPass /sample_1 ajp://127.0.0.1:8009/sample_1 
ProxyPass /sample_2 ajp://127.0.0.1:8009/sample_2 
ProxyPass /sample_3 ajp://127.0.0.1:8014/sample_3
ProxyPass /sample_4 ajp://127.0.0.1:8019/sample_4
....
CustomLog   logs/my_access_log combined
ErrorLog    logs/my_error_log
</VirtualHost>

Now, I would like to use a CustomLog for each tomcat instance, I tried to put each ProxyPass directive in a separate virtualhost, but I got 403 error except for the virtualhost on the top according to httpd -S output.

I don't like to remove the ServerName directive, because the service will be available throug the IP address.

Help please

You can use the SetEnvIf directive in combination with conditional logging to log specific requests to different log files.

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerName my.example.com
    ...

    SetEnvIf Request_URI "/sample_1.*" sample_1
    SetEnvIf Request_URI "/sample_2.*" sample_2

    CustomLog   logs/my_access_log_sample_1 combined env=sample_1
    CustomLog   logs/my_access_log_sample_2 combined env=sample_2
    CustomLog   logs/my_access_log combined
    ErrorLog    logs/my_error_log

</VirtualHost>
