    I have installed and configured WordPress on my server using also apach2 virtualhosts.
    I made a virtualhost with this config

    
<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    ServerName yourluxuryroad.com
    ServerAlias www.yourluxuryroad.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/yourluxuryroad
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.yourluxuryroad.com [OR]
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =yourluxuryroad.com
    RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]

    ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyRequests Off
    ProxyPass /node-yrl-book http://localhost:5000
    ProxyPassReverse /node-yrl-book http://localhost:5000

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName yourluxuryroad.com
    ServerAlias www.yourluxuryroad.com
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyRequests Off
    ProxyPass /node-yrl-book http://localhost:5000
    ProxyPassReverse /node-yrl-book http://localhost:5000
</VirtualHost>

<Directory /var/www/yourluxuryroad/>
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

    As you can see from the config i’m trying to set the ProxyPass directive for redirect the requests recived on the path /node-yrl-book to a nodejs service ( made using expressjs ) at port 5000 but this is not working, instead of getting a redirect to that service i get the 404 Page not found wordpress page.

    If I make a request at my_ip/node-yrl-book instead it works correctly and i am redirected to the service at port :5000

    I suppose that i’m missing something in my configuration but i’m not understanding what..
    Maybe is something in wordpress that has to be changed?

    Since WordPress is using rewrite rules in a specific directory, those take precedence over your global proxy directives. I believe you must enclose the proxy directives in a <Location> block to override the rewrite rules. Example:

    <Location "/node-yrl-book">
	ProxyPass http://localhost:5000
	ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:5000
</Location>

    Thanks for the suggestion, I updated the config as you said but unfortunately still get the wordpres 404 not found page

    
<VirtualHost *:80 *:443>

    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    ServerName yourluxuryroad.com
    ServerAlias www.yourluxuryroad.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/yourluxuryroad
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.yourluxuryroad.com [OR]
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =yourluxuryroad.com
    RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]

    ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyRequests Off

    <Location "/node-yrl-book">
        ProxyPass http://localhost:5000
        ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:5000
    </Location>

</VirtualHost>

<Directory /var/www/yourluxuryroad/>
    AllowOverride All

    Finally i solved this, I made an SSL certificate for my website using let’s encrypt certbot, This script created a new virtualhost in another file for the https requests ( called /etc/apache2/sites-available/myDomain-le-ssl.conf ) That virtualhost was overriding my proxypass directive, editing also this virtualhost made all work
