Point domain to Phonegap port

Question

Currently i've successfully pointed my website to my web-server on one subdomain. However; currently its being pointed to port 80 by default.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost         
    ServerName coreapp.site.me
    ServerAlias www.coreapp.site.me
    DocumentRoot /var/www/coreapp/public
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
    <Directory /var/www/coreapp/public>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I'm looking to hookup the same domain with a different subdomain to :3000 for phonegap; where am I able to configure this?

I assume Phonegap has its own configuration and is not a part of Apache's configuration; i'm still quite unsure due to lack of documentation.

How am I to achieve this on an Ubuntu system?

Assuming that your phonegap app is running on the same machine and listening on port 3000 for incoming requests and the subdomain you require is, let's say: coreapp2.site.me, you can tweak your apache config such that all requests hitting http://coreapp2.site.me will be proxied to your app.

Something like this should work:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost 

    ServerName coreapp2.site.me
    ServerAlias www.coreapp2.site.me

    ProxyPreserveHost On    

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/app2_error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/app2_access.log combined

    ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:3000/ Keepalive=On
    ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:3000/ Keepalive=On

</VirtualHost>

Make sure that mod_proxy apache module is installed and enabled.

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-proxy-html
sudo a2enmod proxy
sudo a2enmod proxy_http
sudo a2enmod proxy_html

And keep the config file at the location /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/coreapp2.conf and restart apache.
