Apache-2 proxypass exclusion with SSL

I use Jboss +Apache solution. [Please see my httpd-vhost.conf file below]

I tried to exclude my images folder from proxy redirection.

What I try to do is, pick images from /usr/local/images/ alias when I use http://www.mysite.com/images and https://www.mysite.com/images links.

This is working fine with virtual host port 80 but when I do same configurations on virtual host port 443 it’s not picking up images from /usr/local/images/ alias and redirect to Jboss.

In other words http://www.mysite.com/images link is working but https://www.mysite.com/images is not working with same configurations.

Also please note that rest of SSL configurations are working fine. I can access https://www.mysite.com without any issue.

Can anyone please help on this?

Solution

  • I found a solution.

    What I have done is create separate httpd-ssl.conf file and Listen 443. Other configurations are same.

    Please see my httpd-ssl.conf file below.

    Thanks

    Listen 443
