Redirect https and http requests to my web app in tomcat from apache

Question

I have a spring web application running in tomcat which I can access using https://example:8080/myApp. I have installed Apache2 to redirect port 443 requests to tomcat. now I can Access my application without the port number. I have installed SSL certificate using LetsEncrypt and all HTTP requests are forwarded to https. when I enter my domain in the browser, it is taking me to tomcat home, not to my web app. This is my virtual host config for 443

<IfModule mod_ssl.c> <VirtualHost *:443> JKMount /* ajp13_worker ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyRequests Off ServerAdamin webmaster@myDomain ServerName example.com ServerAlias www.example.com ProxyPass https://example.com http://localhost:8080/myApp ProxyPassReverse https://example.com http://localhost:8080/myApp <!--ssl details--> </VirtualHost> </IfModule> 

Why it is not redirecting to myApp. Any help will be appreciated. Please ask if you need more details.

Answer 1

When using two arguments on ProxyPass it does not take a full URL as the first argument, only the path.

ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/myApp/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/myApp/ 

The trailing slash is also important.
