Hi,

the Redirect statements for a reverse proxy setup are:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName memos.example.com    
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyRequests Off
    ProxyPass / http://localhost:5230/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:5230/
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:UPGRADE} websocket [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:CONNECTION} upgrade [NC]
    RewriteRule ^/?(.*) "ws://localhost:5230/$1" [P,L]

I would like to proxy not the base URL, but

https://myserver/memos

instead, so I use

ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass /memos http://localhost:5230/
ProxyPassReverse /memos http://localhost:5230/
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:UPGRADE} websocket [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:CONNECTION} upgrade [NC]
RewriteRule ^/memos/?(.*) "ws://localhost:5230/$1" [P,L]

With this proxy configuration, I this page for the request http://myserer/memos:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png" />
<link rel="icon" type="image/webp" href="/logo.webp" />
<link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, user-scalable=no" />
<!-- memos.metadata.head -->
<title>Memos</title>
<script type="module" crossorigin src="/assets/index-BhjFEno8.js"></script>
<link rel="modulepreload" crossorigin href="/assets/utils-vendor-CZ4GW7MU.js">
<link rel="modulepreload" crossorigin href="/assets/leaflet-vendor-DhA_n75-.js">
<link rel="modulepreload" crossorigin href="/assets/mermaid-vendor-Be1fRuBG.js">
<link rel="modulepreload" crossorigin href="/assets/katex-vendor-DsmCZfJr.js">
<link rel="stylesheet" crossorigin href="/assets/index-XuioeehA.css">
</head>
<body class="text-base w-full min-h-svh">
<div id="root" class="relative w-full min-h-full"></div>
<!-- memos.metadata.body -->
</body>
</html>

Any idea what's wrong here? Maybe the Rewrite rule is not correct?

Thanks,
Christoph
