Stuck with apache,mod-ajp weird redirection

Question

hi all i have a redirection problem with mod ajp, that it always adds the application name before the desired page, for example:

if i requested the page:

http://myapp.com/mypage

it is converted to

http://myapp.com/myapp/mypage, and i get a 404 error

i don't know why such behaviour occurs, this is the configuration:

<Proxy *> AddDefaultCharset Off Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> 
ProxyPass / ajp://127.0.0.1:8009/myapp/ 
ProxyPassReverse / 
ajp://127.0.0.1:8009/myapp/ 
ProxyPassReverseCookiePath /myapp/

this strange redirection occurs exaclty when an inside application redirection occurs meaning after registration the user is redirected(application side) to the login page using response.sendRedirect , any ideas ?

You can resolve problems like this with this approach:

Install LiveHTTPHeaders and enable it
Access the application directly
Access the application via your reverse proxy
Compare the HTTP traffic of the previous cases

Most likely your application redirects user using relative URL. However your ProxyPassReverse only rewrites absolute versions. The relative version gets redirected with the page load according to your ProxyPass rule, causing the doubling of the path.

In case I was not clear enough: Your ProxyPassReverse is the problem. — erloewe, Feb 06 '11 at 19:27

The ProxyPassReverse directive is possibly wrong. I guess it should be

ProxyPassReverse / http://myapp.com

See The Mystery of ProxyPassReverse.
