How to set up Apache ProxyPass to preserve Express routes
apache, express, httpd.conf, node.js
Solution
You have an extra `/` at the end of your host. Try changing it to:
ProxyPass /node http://localhost:3000
Problem
In my Apache config im forwarding all traffic on `/node` to port `3000`, where the Express server is listening. ``` <IfModule mod_proxy.c> ProxyRequests Off ProxyPass /node http://localhost:3000/ </IfModule> ``` The Express app looks like this: ``` var express = require('express'); var app = express(); var router = express.Router(); router.route('/route/:id').get(function (req, res) { res.json({ description: 'Welcome to a route with an ID' }); }); router.route('/route').get(function (req, res) { res.json({ description: 'Welcome to the normal route' }); }); router.route('/').get(function (req, res) { res.json({ data: 'Welcome to the app' }); }); app.use('/', router); app.listen(3000); ``` When I direct my browser to http://myserver.com/node I get the response `{ data: 'Welcome to the app' }`, which is fine. Though, when I try to go http://myserver.com/node/route or http://myserver.com/node/1210 I get an error `Cannot GET //route`. Any ideas how I can update my Apache config to preserve the Express routes? I'm running Apache 2.4.6 on CentOS.
