I have an old php application developed using the Yii2 framework hosted on a Centos server at the path /var/www/html. This application is accessible at http://somedomain.com/.
I am working on new API project developed using ASP.NET MVC Core which needs to be accessible at http://somedomain.com/v2/.
So, is it possible to host the dotnet core application inside an Apache site and have both of them work at the same time? If yes, how can I accomplish it?
You could add a reverse proxy to do that. Let's say your ASP.NET Core app runs on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ by:
dotnet run --urls=http://localhost:5000
if the request start with http://somedomain.com/v2/, then proxy to the ASP.NET Core App.
+-------+
| +----------------------------------------+
| | |
| | PHP module |
| | |
| +----------------------------------------+
|Apache2|
| |
| (80) | +--------------------+
| | start with /v2/ | |
| | | Asp.Net Core App |
| +-------------------> |
| | | (5000) |
| | reverse proxy | |
+-------+ +--------------------+
Firstly, configure proxy module by uncomment these lines in httpd.conf:
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
LoadModule proxy_http2_module modules/mod_proxy_http2.so
And then add the following reverse proxy settings for requests that start with /v2/:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /v2/ http://127.0.0.1:5000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://somedomain.com/
ServerName somedomain.com
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}webapp1-error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}webapp1-access.log common
</VirtualHost>
Now it should work as expected.
A working Demo
Here's a demo that listens on 8089 instead of 80:
