Apache ProxyPass Load Balance ALL URL's
apache, http, httpd.conf, httpserver
Solution
ProxyPass / .... is enough to proxy everything, but make sure you match slashes, specifying "balancer://mycluster" is incorrect, and you need to match slashes back and forth, so if your origin ends in slash the target also ends in slash, plus in this case balancer://mycluster is really balancer://mycluster/
ProxyPass / balancer://mycluster/
Problem
Using Apache HTTP Server, how do I load balance all URL's, not just root "/" or some sub-directories under root like "/css", but absolutely everything to a balanced backend? My config will only route the literal root URL "/" but other URL's are not covered, do I need to use a regex? Relevant config: ``` <Proxy balancer://mycluster> BalancerMember https://server1:8443 BalancerMember https://server2:8443 ProxySet lbmethod=byrequests </Proxy> <VirtualHost _default_:443> SSLProxyEngine on ProxyPass "/" "balancer://mycluster" ProxyPassReverse "/" "balancer://mycluster" </VirtualHost> ``` Apache access_log (notice /css receives a 500 response): ``` 172.18.0.1 - - [10/May/2017:20:22:55 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 196 172.18.0.1 - - [10/May/2017:20:22:58 +0000] "GET /css HTTP/1.1" 500 528 ``` Apache error_log: ``` [Wed May 10 20:22:58.607433 2017] [proxy:warn] [pid 9:tid 140682836559616] [client 172.18.0.1:35304] AH01144: No protocol handler was valid for the URL /css. If you are using a DSO version of mod_proxy, make sure the proxy submodules are included in the configuration using LoadModule. ```
