I have a subdomain test.example.com. I have a java web application running in tomcat 8.5 on port 8086.
In /opt/tomcat/conf/server.xml I have a virtual host defined like below.
<Host name="test.example.com" appBase="webapps/myapp-0.2" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
<Alias>www.test.example.com</Alias>
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs"
prefix="test_access_log" suffix=".txt"
pattern="%h %l %u %t "%r" %s %b" />
</Host>
I have an apache2 conf defines like below. /etc/apache2/sites-available/test.example.com.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName test.example.com
ServerAlias www.test.example.com.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/test.example.com/public_html
<Directory /var/www/test.example.com/public_html>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>
In public_html I have .htaccess defined like below.
RedirectPermanent / http://test.example.com:8086
My goal is to be able to hit the myapp-02 tomcat web app on port 8086 like so http://canicarry.thehatapps.com:8086
I’m not sure what’s wrong but I get 404. I can’t seem to resolve http://canicarry.thehatapps.com:8086 to my web app running in tomcat.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
I would recommend using Apache Reverse Proxy, that way you would be able to pass all requests from http://test.example.com to your Tomcat without even having to add the port at the end.
You can take a look a this step by step guide on how to configure that:
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
