1. Open C:\Redmine_Server/apps/redmine/conf/httpd-prefix.conf in a text editor
2. Delete these 2 lines:

Alias /redmine/ "C:\Redmine_Server/apps/redmine/htdocs/public/"
Alias /redmine "C:\Redmine_Server/apps/redmine/htdocs/public"

3. And replace with:

DocumentRoot "C:\Redmine_Server/apps/redmine/htdocs/public/"
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ balancer://redminecluster%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QSA,L]

4. Delete these 2 lines:

ProxyPass /redmine balancer://redminecluster
ProxyPassReverse /redmine balancer://redminecluster

5. And replace with:

ProxyPass / balancer://redminecluster

6. Delete these 2 lines:

BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:3001/redmine
