Converter webapp into short url - .htaccess

Do you know how to rewrite the http://domain .com/application/index.pl into http://app.domain .com ?
I already have the A record on my public DNS server set.
I tried tons of script.
The running service is CentOS, PHP, PERL and MySQL.

You should create an other <VirtualHost> config in your Apache config ( assuming you're using Apache). In the app.domain.com <VirtualHost> section, use Proxy / http://domain_com/application to allow access to primary host.
More info about proxying in Apache: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/mod/mod_proxy.html

add subdomain for node.js application in DirectAdmin

On my VPS I host several laravel applications.
Subdomains are added using DirectAdmin and VirtualHost settings are done using the DirectAdmin Httpd.conf customization, like:
|*if SUB="cluego"|
|?DOCROOT=/home/admin/domains/netwerkspel.nl/public_html/cluego/public|
|*endif|
|*if SUB="ijsbrekerz"|
|?DOCROOT=/home/admin/domains/netwerkspel.nl/public_html/ijsbrekerz/public|
|*endif|
Now I want to add the subdomain for qruzzle:
|*if SUB="qruzzle"|
|?DOCROOT=/home/admin/domains/netwerkspel.nl/public_html/qruzzle|
|*endif|
But qruzzle is a node.js application, and in the qruzzle directory a server.js is running on port 3000.
Can anyone tell me how I can configure this in the easiest way? Do I need to set up a reverse proxy? Is that possible using DirectAdmin?

How to execute OpenTest thru Apache reverse proxy along with other applications

First some context
We have an Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS server running on Azure
Our company security policies only allows for ports 80 and 443 to be accessed thru HTTP/HTTPS
Any applications such as Jenkins or NodeJS ones running on other ports should use a reverse proxy thru Apache
The same server already has Jenkins running on port 8080 and Jenkins itself can be configured to run using what they call a "--path" parameter which makes it accessible thru URL http://localhost:8080/jenkins, hence reverse proxy is pretty straight forward to configure as anything going to "/jenkins" can just be pass to http://localhost:8080/jenkins, current Apache config (which is working for Jenkins) as follows:
# Jenkins
ProxyPass /jenkins http://localhost:8080/jenkins nocanon
ProxyPassReverse /jenkins http://localhost:8080/jenkins
ProxyRequests Off
AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode
<Proxy http://localhost:8080/jenkins*>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
The problem we are facing
So, for running OpenTest, we have to install it as a npm package which can then be executed by running opentest server command, it will start the application on port 3000 by default http://localhost:3000 but it is possible to change the preferred port as well thru configuration https://getopentest.org/reference/configuration.html#server-configuration
The problem is that we need to re-route anything, let's say going to "/opentest" to the opentest server app but that doesn't work for all static assets, api urls, etc... since the app is just running on port 3000 http://localhost:3000 but doesn't seems to have something like the Jenkins' "--path", so we can't just mimic the same reverse proxy we have for Jenkins; the idea would be to have opentest in path "/opentest", something like http://localhost:3000/opentest.
We were not able to find any OpenTest configuration that allows me to do something like http://localhost:3000/opentest and we are new to pm2 so we can't tell if it is possible to use pm2 to to run the OpenTest application in a "path" or some sort of "local known application domain" which we could use to re-route the reverse proxy to.
Any thoughts, ideas, workarounds or solutions are welcome; we might be taking the wrong approach here so we would also appreciate any insights in that regard.
Thanks!
Starting with version 1.2.0, you can use the urlPrefix configuration parameter in server.yaml to accomplish this:
#...
urlPrefix: /opentest

setting up nodejs on sharing host

how setting up nodejs on sharing host?
nodejs and git installed on my host and I access to ssh , but when I want to run my application , apache handle those routes.
I read some article but those said fix with httpd.conf and I don't access to httpd.conf
If you have the proper permissions you can forward all the traffic from port 80 that apache handles to the port that your node app is running. You can find examples on google if you search for keywords like apache, vhosts and reverse proxy.

Redirect a url to a local server

Is there any way to redirect a url to a local server?
Like http://example.com/1.js to http://localhost/1.js, without changing hosts file, using node js.
To configure apache on windows, refer this link proxy on windows
To configure apache on UBUNTU, refer this links
Apache2 reverse proxies
Apache proxy on ubuntu
In below code,
if i visit localhost/http-bind. it will hit localhost:5280/http-bind/
ProxyPass /http-bind http://localhost:5280/http-bind/

Assigning a domain name to localhost for development environment

I am building a website and would not like to reconfigure the website from pointing to http://127.0.0.1 to http://www.example.com. Furthermore, the certificate that I am using is of course made with the proper domain name of www.example.com but my test environment makes calls to 127.0.0.1 which makes the security not work properly.
What I currently want to do is configure my development environment to assign the domain name www.example.com to 127.0.0.1 so that all http://www.example.com/xyz is routed to http://127.0.0.1:8000/xyz and https://www.example.com/xyz is routed to https://127.0.0.1:8080/xyz.
I am not using Apache. I am currently using node.js as my web server and my development environment is in Mac OS X Lion.
If you edit your etc/hosts file you can assign an arbitrary host name to be set to 127.0.0.1.
Open up /etc/hosts in your favorite text editor and add this line:
127.0.0.1 www.example.com
Unsure of how to avoid specifying the port in the HTTP requests you make to example.com, but if you must avoid specifying that at the request level, you could run nodejs as root to make it listen on port 80.
Edit: After editing /etc/hosts, you may already have the DNS request for that domain cached. You can clear the cached entry by running this on the command line.
dscacheutil -flushcache
