I have an Ubuntu 14.04 x86 droplet on DigitalOcean with Apache 2.4.7 (the default from Ubuntu repositories). Also, I have a Node.js app running on port 3000, and want to map /node* path on root to /* the Node.js server (using Express).

What I tried:

  • Enabled mod_proxy with a2enmod proxy.
  • Modify /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf and added a line with ProxyPass /node http://localhost:3000/ to the end of VirtualHost.

What I get:

  • /node proxied to http://localhost:3000/.
  • /node/help proxied to http://localhost:3000/ (which is not right).

Are there any other modifications I should do in order to do that? Thanks in advance!

Figured out I had strict routing set in Express, which doesn't tolerate //help for example.

The solution: Omit trailing slash in ProxyPass directive, like so:

ProxyPass /node http://localhost:3000
