Read Apache ProxyPass from a conf file

Question

I have several proxy pass statements for the same virtual host. I want to move those statements to a conf file that the virtual host reads. Is that possible? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I've put it in confs-available and enabled, added an Include line to the virtual host, etc. Nothing seems to work. It never finds the proxy pass statement and defaults to looking in htdocs.

EDIT: Is mod_proxy enabled? If it's already enabled, try these steps:

1. Run a2ensite <your_virtualhost.conf>
2. Reload Apache configuration with systemctl reload apache2

Prefix all commands with sudo if your systems needs that.
