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/

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?
I have an Digitalocean Droplet (virtual private server) that has Ubuntu 18.04 running on it. I installed Apache Web Server and have my website running on it . It's open to traffic on HTTP port 80. My virtual host is setup at /var/www/MyDomainNameHere/public_html/ and I do have a custom domain name pointing to the IP.
I am trying to deploy/run a executable .jar that contains a Spring boot API. It has some basic GET/POST/DELETE HTTP requests. When I run the jar by
java -jar rest-service.jar
I get this error message
***************************
APPLICATION FAILED TO START
***************************
Description:
Web server failed to start. Port 80 was already in use.
Does this mean the Apache Web Server that is open to Traffic on port 80 on this Digital ocean droplet won't let me run the API jar on the same server (The JAR loads up an Apache Tomcat embedded server, I set it to port 80 based on research)? Do I need to buy another droplet? Or can I maybe change the port number for the spring boot jar to something other than port 80? It's an API, so I need to be able to hit the end points
Yes, Apache Web Server using the port and you change your spring application 80 to any other port and use the reverse proxy in Apache Web server. here is the link to configure the reverse proxy
Apache as a Reverse Proxy with mod_proxy
So I will answer my own question. I googled and searched stackoverflow but most people were using the reverse proxy to direct traffic to their standalone embedded Tomcat server (most of time a Spring Boot app) which wasn't applicable to my situation.
However, I already had a static html website at alpizano.me hosted on Digital Ocean that I wanted to use as my Front-end, and only forward certain HTTP requests to my Spring Boot app, which was a REST API essentially.
So after installing Java and PostgreSQL on my DigitalOcean droplet, I SCP'd my JAR file (running ./mvnw clean package -Dmaven.test.skip=true to create it) to my server to a directory like, /var/myapp.
Then after researching for a few days and trying multiple things, I was able to figure out the combination that would allow me to view my website when navigating to alpizano.me, but still allow me to hit my API endpoints that were running on my server as-well, after I ran my jar via java -jar myapp.jar
So I basically had to set up my .conf file in the /etc/apache2/sites-available dir (I only used 1 virtual host for this project) as:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName yourservername.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/yourservername.com/public_html
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /api http://127.0.0.1:8080/
ProxyPassReverse /api http://127.0.0.1:8080/
</VirtualHost>
Notice the /api route for the routing that goes to the embedded Tomcat at port 8080 (you can't use port 80 or it will conflict with Apache Server already listening on port 80), else if it's just / , then it will not allow traffic to base website anymore (alpizano.me), which isn't what I wanted.
This wouldn't be needed if you just had a standalone app that you wanted to route traffic, then you could just use / as your route obviously. I saw other posts talking about forwarding the headers but that didn't seem to make a difference for me and I believe ProxyPreserveHost On takes care of that anyway
Good luck.

Is it possible to run Both node and Apache on the same domain without adding the port in the URL ?
and serve both on the same page, i already have node running on port 8443 and Apache on port 433 and they both work fine but i need to specify in the link the port "8443" to access node which is not what i want,
i want to serve both on the same URL if possible without adding the port to the URL.
You can use Apache reverse proxy
Add this configuration to your apache conf.
ProxyPass "/nodeapp" "http:/localhost:8443"
You can access node application by http://www.example.com/nodeapp
A reverse proxy is a type of proxy server that retrieves resources on behalf of a client from server. These resources are then returned to the client as if they originated from the web server itself.
You can set an nginx proxy before them and separate routes to apache or node.
https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/web-server/reverse-proxy/
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
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.
