Redirect custom domains to the Apache server

  • Add a ServerAlias in the /opt/bitnami/apps/APPNAME/conf/httpd-vhosts.conf file for your application. This option is designed to specify alternate names for a host and is used when matching requests. Here’s an example:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName app.example.com
ServerAlias www.app.example.com app.example.org www.app.example.uk.org
...

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName app.example.com
ServerAlias www.app.example.com app.example.org www.app.example.uk.org
...

    You will also need to create new certificates for each virtual host running on port 443 or use existing certificates, such as the default certificates shipped with the stack. You can do this by updating the SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateKeyFile directives for the virtual host to reflect the correct path for each virtual host’s certificates, as shown in the sample lines below, or by creating symlinks to the default certificates.

    ...
SSLCertificateFile "/opt/bitnami/apps/APPNAME/conf/certs/app.example.com.crt"
SSLCertificateKeyFile "/opt/bitnami/apps/APPNAME/conf/certs/app.example.com.key"
...

  • Check that the /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/bitnami-apps-vhosts.conf file includes the httpd-vhosts.conf file for your application. It should include a line like the one below.

    Include "/opt/bitnami/apps/APPNAME/conf/httpd-vhosts.conf"

    If it does not, add the line above to the /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/bitnami-apps-vhosts.conf file, replacing the APPNAME placeholder with the correct directory name for your application.

  • After modifying the Apache configuration files, restart Apache to apply the changes.

Redirect www.myapp.example.com to myapp.example.com

This redirection is an SEO “best practice”.

  • Add the following in the /opt/bitnami/apps/APPNAME/conf/httpd-vhosts.conf file for your application.

    <VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName app.example.com
ServerAlias www.app.example.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1$1 [R=permanent,L]
...

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName app.example.com
ServerAlias www.app.example.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1$1 [R=permanent,L]
...

    You will also need to create new certificates for each virtual host running on port 443 or use existing certificates, such as the default certificates shipped with the stack. You can do this by updating the SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateKeyFile directives for the virtual host to reflect the correct path for each virtual host’s certificates, as shown in the sample lines below, or by creating symlinks to the default certificates.

    ...
SSLCertificateFile "/opt/bitnami/apps/APPNAME/conf/certs/app.example.com.crt"
SSLCertificateKeyFile "/opt/bitnami/apps/APPNAME/conf/certs/app.example.com.key"
...

  • Check that the /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/bitnami-apps-vhosts.conf file includes the httpd-vhosts.conf file for your application. It should include a line like the one below.

    Include "/opt/bitnami/apps/APPNAME/conf/httpd-vhosts.conf"

    If it does not, add the line above to the /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/bitnami-apps-vhosts.conf file, replacing the APPNAME placeholder with the correct directory name for your application.

  • After modifying the Apache configuration files, restart Apache to apply the changes.

Redirect myapp.example.com to www.myapp.example.com

  • Add the following in the /opt/bitnami/apps/APPNAME/conf/httpd-vhosts.conf file for your application. Or, to apply this redirection by default for all applications installed, add it to the default VirtualHost in the /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami.conf file.

    <VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName app.example.com
  ServerAlias www.app.example.com
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
 ...

<VirtualHost *:443>
  ServerName app.example.com
  ServerAlias www.app.example.com
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
 ...

SSLCertificateKeyFile "/opt/bitnami/apps/APPNAME/conf/certs/app.example.com.key"
...

  • If you used the httpd-vhosts.conf file for the application, check that the /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/bitnami-apps-vhosts.conf file includes the httpd-vhosts.conf file for your application. It should include a line like the one below.

    Include "/opt/bitnami/apps/APPNAME/conf/httpd-vhosts.conf"

    If it does not, add the line above to the /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/bitnami-apps-vhosts.conf file, replacing the APPNAME placeholder with the correct directory name for your application.
