No, there is no such config. I think this should be the default, I mean, we should have this /ovirt prefix in all our URLs, to make coexistence with other users of the web server easy.

Jon, as you see this will probably go in release 4.0, which is the future. Meanwhile if what you need is to use the web server with other applications you could try to replace the directives in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ovirt-engine.conf with the following: ProxyPassMatch ^/(ca.crt|engine.ssh.key.txt)$ ajp://localhost:8009/$1 ProxyPassMatch ^/(api|webadmin|UserPortal|OvirtEngineWeb)(/.*)?$ ajp://localhost:8009/$1$2 That will change your configuration so that only the URLs that are really required for the engine will be redirected to it. A notable exception will be the welcome page, but you probably can live without it, just use the following to get to the UI: https://whatever.example.com/webadmin https://whatever.example.com/UserPortal Take into account that ProxyPassMatch directives are processed in the order they appear, so if you have another application with conflicting ProxyPassMatch directives the result can be unexpected.

It is strange that you still get the welcome page, you shouldn't. Maybe it is in your browser's cache. Try to reload it.

Take into account that I may have missed some of the required URLs. I would really appreciate if you report back here if you have any further problem.
